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.
