[Verse 1]
Oh Mother if you were here today
I know exactly what you'd say, I know
"Force more words! I told you so"
But I never did listen to your advice
I thought that I knew best somehow
Now here I stand surrounded by wolves
Oh Mother, I'm listening now

[Verse 2]
Oh Mother, you said
"Stay upon your path and don't stray out into the woods"
So many day, just inside there and they're all up to no good
But I never did listen to your advice
I thought that I knew best somehow
Now here I stand surrounded by wolves
Oh Mother, I'm listening now

[Verse 3]
Oh Mother, they're surrounding me
If you were here then you would see the situation I have gotten in
You always said I never learn, "Play with fire and you'll get burned"
Oh Mother, what a fool I've been
I tried to find that pot of gold
I believed every word that they did say
I burned my bridges, never to return
But now, I've finally lost my way
But I never did listen to your advice
I thought I knew best somehow
Now here I stand surrounded by wolves
Oh Mother, I'm listening now
[Verse 4]
Oh Mother, I could see their teeth and eyes
And I can even smell their breath
They're getting ready to feed off me and
And now I'm scared to death
How I wish I'd listened to your advice
I never did and now I never will
I can feel them closing in on me
They're going for the kill, they're going for the kill
