I'm still waiting for my son to come home from living on the streets and drugs thank you for this song it sums him up every single word but I want give up

I remember her performing this song 10 years ago or something. It made me cry, and I was not the only one in the audience: most people cried. So powerful

This is dedicated to all the families out there who are still waiting for their loved ones, to come home from the residential schools.
