Lyrics
I Am My Mother
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Dangerous dreams have been detected
Streaming over the Southern border
As bad as it seems, it's worse than expected
Fleeing through the night corridor
Oh, I've done the math
With a stick in the sand
I've kicked the can
Into a dead end
Oh, I can't mend
Every broken fence
I'm a new man
But I am still my mother
If it was up to me, I would have rejected
The idea that money could keep you poor
And as dark as it seems, it's worse than neglected
When you need the one who loves no more
I've done the math
With a stick in the sand
I've kicked the can
Into a dead end
Oh, I can't mend
Every broken fence
I'm a new man
But I am still my mother
