Mother, Mother why don't you listen to me

When has my opinion ever really been true,

My life has been taken away from you,

We may be separate

But does it really matter,

What's my opinion to you?

I wake up in the morning hoping to see my sun,

But it seems an eclipse has occurred for I can only see the moon,

The days are growing shorter,

My heart is on the move.

What really ever happened,

To me and you.

Mother, Mother don't you hear me call,

Mother, mother why don't you answer me,

For I'm your daughter, daughter.

Don't you see?

I'm running toward the pasture,

But I can't seem to believe.

Mother, Mother why don't you listen to me

Why the sudden spur of the moment decision,

Have you really thought about,

Have you pictured what could happen?

Do you know what its doing to me?

Have you seen the future that has no me?

And why do I ask you these questions?

When you never answer me.

Mother, Mother don't you hear me call,

Mother, mother why don't you answer me,

For I'm your daughter, daughter.

Don't you see?

I'm running toward the pasture,

But I can't seem to believe.

Mother, Mother why don't you listen to me

How could you do this to me,

The one who came before,

The son and the husband,

Do you understand what you've done to me,

In this world of abandonment and theft,

A life without a mother is like a life without a friend,

So can't you see why I can't call the a mother no more.
