Oh mother I'm fine, I seldom get down 
At least not for a day 
Oh mother I'm fine, not for some time 
Have I been in pain 
Oh mother the time, wont wait for us now 
We can't wait in vain 
Oh mother don't cry, we'll try to get by 
We'll try to be brave 
Got a feeling coming round 
Holding me down 
I've got a hold of you 
So open 
Open 
Oh mother you called, your voice hangs above 
The fog in my brain 
Oh mother the time, mother the time 
Might tick for me now 
Oh mother the pain, is part of the joy 
And that is the deal 
Oh mother I'm fine, I'm blinking in time 
To block out the fear 
Got a feeling coming round 
Holding me down 
I've got a hold of you 
So open 
Open 
I'm feeling so alive
