Happy Home

I remember the pain in my mother's eyes

I remember the pain of her compromise years ago

I always wanted to help to make it go away

I didn't know it was her freedom that she needed so

And she said to me, she said to me

He hitch-hiked to Maine

We went cross-country

I had to leave my home

I had to raise a family

We did the best we could being so young

We tried to hard to build a happy home

I never knew what to say to anybody

I didn't know what to do, I was far too young

But everybody could feel the suffocation

Underneath for facade of a happy home

And she said to me, she said to me

He hitch-hiked to Maine

We went cross-country

I had to leave my home

I had to raise a family

We did the best we could being so young

We tried to hard to build a happy home

Home sweet freedom, flowing in my eyes, Home sweet freedom

flowing in my mind

Sacrificed her dreams to motherhood

Waiting and waiting to be understood fully

Sacrificed her years to the family

Waiting and waiting to be heard finally

And she said to me, she said to me
