Mother

Mother, can you give me what I need?
Yes, is the answer she shows me
Anything is possible, go and get it now
I've shown you the clues to figure your shit out

So I laugh out loud, and she laughs out loud
And we laugh out loud, we are both proud

Mother, can you hear the words I say?
I see in her eyes she can relate
I've been where you have been many years before
I'll tell you all that I know, take what you want

So I settled down, and she settled down
And we settled down, we are both proud

Mother, can you cook me food to eat?
She's always had a plate to offer me
Prepare what you can and make it warm, share with your friends
Family around the table is what's happiness

So I bake some bread, and she bakes some bread
And we bake some bread, we are both proud
Mother, can you hold my hand again?
Her hand is ready, reaching to extend
I'll never love you any less, no matter what you do
I see the future in your eyes, follow through

So I feel as one, and she feels as one
We feel as one, we are both proud
