lyrics

When I was small your blankets broke my fall
In a bubble without harm, my world within your arms
Mother – so warm and safe, focussed only on your face

And when the cracks appeared you comforted my fear
Mother – I grew my skin and the darkness sunk deep within

MOTHER YOU HAVE SHOWN
THAT THERE’S LOVE IN THESE BONES
AND IT WILL ALWAYS FLOW
MOTHER I HOPE YOU KNOW
YOUR HEART IS OUR HOME
IT’S THE PLACE TO WHICH WE’LL ALWAYS RETURN

When you cried, only then I realised
Mother – I caused you pain, I won’t do it again

MOTHER YOU HAVE SHOWN
THAT THERE’S LOVE IN THESE BONES
AND IT WILL ALWAYS FLOW
MOTHER I HOPE YOU KNOW
YOUR HEART IS OUR HOME
BUT NOW IT’S TIME FOR US TO GROW
FOR US TO GROW, FOR US TO GROW, FOR US TO GROW
WE WILL GROW
WE WILL GROW
WE WILL GROW
WE WILL GROW

Mother, mother, mother, mother…
