I heard our mother
Speak and dream her worried words
Sayin' you're lost child
Forgetting all you've learned
Ooh oh woah
Your mother's worried
And she's waiting
Always waitin' on you
In the night sweat
I've heard a nightmarish cry
Watch the tears of our potential
Stream out her eyes
Ooh oh woah
Your mother's worried
And she's crying
Always crying for you
Oh dear child
We've been losing you since birth
You've been lost among your brothers
Forgetting all your worth
Ooh oh woah
Your mother's tired
And she's waiting
Always waiting on you
Oh dear mother
Won't you please hang on
We've been lost amongst our brothers
For too damn long
Ooh oh woah
Your dear mother
Keeps singin'
Your song will guide us home soon
