for A thousand mothers (2001 remastered version)
Did you hear mother
Saying Im wrong but I know Im right
Did you hear father?
Calling my name into the night
Saying Ill never be what I am now
Telling me Ill never find what Ive already found
It was they who were wrong
And for them heres a song
Did you hear baby
Come back and tell you the things hes seen
Did it surprise you
To be picked up at eight in a limousine?
Doing the things hes accustomed to do
Which at one time it seemed like a dream
Now its true
And unknowing
You made it all happen this way
Did you hear mother
Saying Im wrong but I know Im right
Did you hear father?
Calling my name into the night
Saying Ill never be what I am now
Telling me Ill never find what Ive already found
It was they who were wrong
And for them heres a song
