mother
Where will I be The day I need you for my own Who will I be When I can't reach you on the phone  Will I still be the same Will I still feel this pain Will you still be mother When you're dead and gone All alone on my own  Finally me Without the mountains or the sea Lord, what is to be Why do my past just have to leave  I always loved your soul I know I've been much too cold We've had times of trouble That were never told  When is it too late to say That I loved you anyway Will I still be proud When you're dead and gone All alone on my own  Oh mother, can't you see That this fight is all about me Why can't you understand that I'm a child And a grown up woman  Mother can't you see That this fight is all about me You think that I'm wild But I'm a woman and still a child  Disappointed and proud I wish I dared to scream out loud We've been the same God give me words so I can explain  Don't say I never tried Don't ever say I lied Will I still be something When you're dead and gone  Please try to ease my pain So I can feel again Say you always loved me Before you're dead and gone All alone on my own  But finally you won't be no other Than my mother
