For A Thousand Mothers

Did you hear mother --

Saying i'm wrong but i know i'm right.

Did you hear father?

Calling my name into the night.

Saying i'll never be what i am now.

Telling me i'll never find what i've already found.

It was they who were wrong,

And for them here's a song.

Did you hear baby --

Come back and tell you the things he's seen.

Did it surprise you

To be picked up at eight in a limousine?

Doing the things he's accustomed to do.

Which at one time it seemed like a dream

Now it's true.

And unknowing

You made it all happen this way.



Did you hear mother --

Saying i'm wrong but i know i'm right.

Did you hear father?

Calling my name into the night.

Saying i'll never be what i am now.

Telling me i'll never find what i've already found.

It was they who were wrong

And for them here's a song.
