Mother

She gave her eyes to me, she wanted to help me see

Oh olive green and hints of the sea. Whatever I did, she just loved me

Now I've grown unsure, but everything I learned from her

It started in a blur waiting to be unobscured.

Oh, mother, mother, mother, help us love each other

Oh, mother, mother, mother, help us love each other

I have her love for dance. It puts us in a trance

Now I still wear little pants. I hope I grow into her hands

My heart can only be half her size, till I look in my first child's eyes

Till then I'll still be surprised why she gave up her entire life for mine
