Mother

Mother, tell me why'd you have to fall
Mother, tell me why'd you have to break at all
Mother, show me a good way to live
Mother, show me how to not take but give
Because there's no more room for hiding
i've got no breath for denying
I've got so much locked up inside me
Just like a lion I've got to uncage it all
And watch it run away
Father, tell me why'd you have to go
Father, tell me why didn't you let me know
Father, show me how to be a man
Instead of holding back tears as hard as I can
Because there's no more room for hiding
i've got no breath for denying
I've got so much locked up inside me
Just like a lion I've got to uncage it all
And watch it run away
Watch it run
Because there's no more room for hiding
i've got no breath for denying
I've got so much locked up inside me
Just like a lion
I've got to uncage it all
Just like a lion
I've got to uncage it all
And watch it run away
Watch it run
