Cindy Morgan - Mother Lyrics

For nine months you carried me softly inside you

And harbored me there safe and warm

And picked out my names and bought new picture frames

And I'm sure only God loved me more.

Kicking and screaming I came to life dreaming

And loving the sounds of your words.

But pretty soon I had a mind of my own

And a voice speaking out to be heard.

Oh, Mother, mother, we started out with a bang

Oh, Mother, mother, its funny how quickly things changed

You feel you gave up too much to be with me

And you never had enough help

Your middle ages and your mid-life rages

Do you feel that you've lost yourself?

And you try to control me and manipulate me

But love is a much stronger tool

So speak to me kindly and show some respect

And I promise I'll show some to you...

Oh, Mother, mother, your picture?s up there on the wall.

Oh, Mother, mother, but its like I don't know you at all.

For whatever reason mother & daughter

Live on a double-edged sword.

One day I love you, the next day I hate you

Until we don't talk anymore

As my daughter?s blue eyes and

They stare back up at me.

And I love them more than my own breath.

Times gonna tell if I have listened well

If I've learned anything from all this

Oh, Mother, mother, I know there's more to you than this

Oh, Mother, oh, mother, do you think that we could be friends

Oh, Mother, mother, I think that we could be friends.
