[Chorus: Dianne Brooks]
Balance is my thing
The sun, the snow, wind, and rain – must come
Balance is my thing
The sun, the snow, wind, and rain – must come
[Verse 1: Bootsy Collins]
Mother,
I can see it, I can hear it,
But I don't know where we're coming from
Mother,
Are you sure this is the time in which we belong?
Hey Mother,
Don't be angry, don't be jealous,
And don't forget who is to blame
Mother,
It was you, it was not me who created this conflictin' brain
[Interlude]
[Chorus: Dianne Brooks]
Balance is my thing
The sun, the snow, wind, and rain – must come
[Verse 2: Bootsy Collins]
Hey Mother,
I can feel it, I can taste it,
I can smell what it's all about
Hey Mother,
I know it's in me, all around me,
But my instinct won't let it out
Hey Mother,
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm high,
Sometimes I am really down
Hey Mother,
What is your plan, what is your game?
Well, what secret have you found?
[Break]
[Chorus: Dianne Brooks]
Balance is my thing
The sun, the snow, wind, and rain – must come
[Verse 3: Bootsy Collins]
Hey Mother,
What do you mean "Don't take it personal
When given all you can abide"?
Hey Mother,
Am I to sit here waiting, while my brother, little brother, dies?
Yes, Mother!
I can see us, I can hear him
But I don't know where we're coming from
And, Mother
Are you sure this is the time where we belong?
