Mother
Mother, I am searching for truth,
Give me gentle words to soothe me.
Mother, I need your support,
Bring me your comfort. Mother.
But you won't hear me cry.
And you won't tell me why,
And you won't sing to me a lullaby.
Mother
Mother, I need you to be strong,
Teach me right from wrong. Mother.
Mother, please come to me,
Tell me you believe in me.
CHORUS
Mother, have I done something wrong?
Can't you help me along the way?
Mother, is there any way
That you can change? Mother.
CHORUS
Kiss me good-night, or hold me tight.
Hold my hand, mother.
