Waiting, hiding, fading, sliding
Kneeling, praying, always compensating
Marching in their endless rows
First they smile
And then they steal your dreams
Still confused on where to go
You're confused more than you'll ever know
What is on your mind today?
Are you thinking things you shouldn't say?
Bite the hand that feeds your thoughts
Confess your sins
the way that you've been taught
Mother why, Mother why?
Mother why'd you make us so afraid?
I wonder why
Mother why, Mother why?
Mother why'd you make me so afraid
to say goodbye?
|
Hold your face up toward the sky
Alone for now is better than being dead
You have played the game to tie
Never understood the reasons why
On the fringe of your grey field
Something lurks, telling you what to feel
It's not a thought or voice you'll hear
Always silent but arousing fear
And waiting at your door
Mother why, Mother why?
Mother why'd you make us so afraid?
I wonder why
Mother why, Mother why?
Mother why'd you make me so afraid
to say goodbye?
