MOTHER



I can’t give up, I can’t give in

I wonder if I’m ever gonna fly again

Though I’ve tried and tried, it still went wrong

Mother do you think they’ll drop…

The bomb



I don’t recall where it all began

So many years ago I was just like them

But then I fell from grace as my life went on

Mother do you think they’ll like…

This song



Am I here because of a life of sin

Or am I simply sliding to a destined end

With my path behind not but empty halls

Mother do you think they’ll try to break…

My balls



You were all I had after father died

And so I fell to pieces as you cried and cried

Can I numb your pain, Can I break your fall

Mother…

Should I build the wall



Hush now baby baby don’t you cry



Mamma’s gonna make your nightmares seem

Real because her fear replaced your dreams

She’ll hold you close underneath her wings

Mamma…

Might just let you sing



I grew up strong as I tried to be

Everything you wanted, all you saw in me

But I feel I’ve failed and my strength is spent

Mother should I run…

For president



And with the world around crumbling every way

I wonder if it’s even worth the time of day

Who can I rely on, can my faith be lent

Mother should I trust…

The government



Well I’ve tried to hide and cover all my guilt  

But those around me still can see the wall I’ve built

Will they cast me off and leave me dead to rights

Mother will they put me in…

The firing lights



Every time I rise and try to start again

I find the wall is stronger and I’m trapped within

Is there no redemption for a life of crime

Mother…

Is it just a waist of time



Hush now baby baby don’t you cry



Mama’s gonna keep you safe and warm

And cover you so you won’t ever feel the storm

She’ll hold you down so you don’t have to take the fall

Mama’s gonna help…

You build the wall



When I found the one who holds my heart

It seemed that for a moment I was worlds apart

From the pain but never trusting I just had to see

Mother do you think she’s good enough…

For me



As I fell in love there was no return

But as I opened up my heart I was afraid she’d learn

The secrets that I’ve kept, the man I used to be

Mother do you think she’s dangerous…

To me



It wasn’t how I planned it but as time went by

The wall began to form again as love ran dry

Each brick another dagger pierced into the heart

Mother will she tear your little boy…

Apart



Though she tried her best to reach me I was there to stay

And in a trance I watched her as she walked away

Is there really no way we can go back to the start

Mother…

Will she break my heart



Hush now baby baby don’t you cry



Mamma’s gonna tell you of who she approves

And keep out all the riff raff that just might slip through

She’ll make sure that you’re healthy and you’re always clean

Baby…

You’ll always be baby to me



Mother did it need to be so high
