Mother

Lyrics for Mother

When you became my mother, there was time You thought I'd be a daughter, but didn't mind And as the world began to measure, and define We had time We had time You gave me light and language, and a name You held me to the fire, to the flame Now if I could tell the future, all the same Why would I? We have time Deep beneath the surface of the earth So many bodies waiting for the word When every child and mother will return Forever We'll have time
