This is a single story, for every single one |
|
On a single planet, under a single sun |
|
In a single solar system some think it's odd |
|
Entire galaxy created by a single god |
|
With a single thought, and a single plan |
|
Single earth fashioned by a single hand |
|
7 continents separated from a single land |
|
Many nations are created from a single man |
|
A single nation taken to a single place |
|
Where they simply aren't familiar with a single face |
|
Yet this is not the story of a single struggle |
|
A single symbolism, nor a single couple |
|
A young couple, who raise a single seed |
|
Sworn protectors of her every single need |
|
Forming a single balance, under a single order |
|
From a single act of love they have a single daughter |
|
Along her way she put her faith in a single lover |
|
And from a single lie she became a single mother |
|
Of a single son, born to a single girl |
|
Single home alone, in a single world |
|
Though her kids felt her single pain |
|
With a single kiss she makes everything okay |
|
I wrote this record in a single way |
|
So the radio will play it every single day |
|
I dedicate this to every single mother |
|
Just to let you know that were thinking of you |
|
If you're a single mother too... |
|
Hey lady, this ones for you |
|
Dedicated to every single mother |
|
Just to let you know that were thinking of you |
|
If you're a single mother too... |
|
Hey lady, this ones for you |
|
You were my first teacher, my first friend |
|
Gave me my first vision, and my first glimpse |
|
Of a bigger world, given me my first look |
|
Tuck me in my bed, and read my first book |
|
And as I fell asleep, for the first time |
|
Little did I know you were showing me my first rhyme |
|
I want to thank you for showing me |
|
How to be a man and turn my pain into poetry |
|
Break my silence, express myself vocally |
|
How to show the world what was once done locally |
|
First one to take me on my quest for learning |
|
First one to help me through life's stressful journey |
|
And every single step, I'm coming with ya |
|
Cause I belong to a strong single mother figure |
|
You were the first one to tell me I was something bigger |
|
I was an Emperor not just another nigger |
|
First one to show me how I might be strong |
|
The days seemed shorter and the night seemed long |
|
Maybe that's the reason that I write these songs |
|
To set the record straight and try to right these wrongs |
|
This is the saga of a single mother |
|
That's been provided by a single brother |
|
I had to write it in a single way |
|
So the radio will play it every single day |
|
I dedicate this to every single mother |
|
Just to let you know that were thinking of you |
|
If you're a single mother too... |
|
Hey lady, this ones for you |
|
Another lonely day, another lonely night |
|
I dedicate this to y'all yeah its only right |
|
Another untold truth is now brought to light |
|
Another lesson is learned cause you taught me right |
|
When I lost my way and the road got lonely |
|
Only you...you were the one who showed me |
|
Only you...you were the one to hold me |
|
Sometimes I feel like you're the only one who knows me |
|
And if you gotta stay single, hey |
|
You should know this, I wrote this in a single way |
|
The only thing I can do is pray |
|
That the radio will play it every single day |
|
I dedicate this to every single mother |
|
Just to let you know that were thinking of you |
|
If you're a single mother too... |
|
Hey lady, this ones for you |
|
Dedicated to every single mother |
|
Just to let you know that were thinking of you |
|
If you're a single mother too... |
|
Hey lady, this ones for you |
