For a Thousand Mothers |
| Did you hear mother -- |
| Saying I’m wrong but I know I’m right |
| Did you hear father? |
| Calling my name into the night |
| Saying I’ll never be what I am now |
| Telling me I’ll never find what I’ve already found |
| It was they who were wrong |
| And for them here’s a song |
| Did you hear baby -- |
| Come back and tell you the things he’s seen |
| Did it surprise you |
| To be picked up at eight in a limousine? |
| Doing the things he’s accustomed to do |
| Which at one time it seemed like a dream |
| Now it’s true |
| And unknowing |
| You made it all happen this way |
| Did you hear mother -- |
| Saying I’m wrong but I know I’m right |
| Did you hear father? |
| Calling my name into the night |
| Saying I’ll never be what I am now |
| Telling me I’ll never find what I’ve already found |
| It was they who were wrong |
| And for them here’s a song |
