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 |
|
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 |
