Mother Lyrics by Cyndi Lauper

Mother Lyrics

    Over land and over sea
    She reaches out to me
    weaving and threading the loom
    from womb to womb
    Slaves and merchants
    pilgrims and thieves
    felt her hand and charted skies
    by following her moon
    Mother
    Mother
    Mother

    Some came and built with stone and bone
    some planted fields on promised land
    and harvested their dreams, then disappeared
    As generations lose their memory
    I'll try and remind my heart
    and hope that it will set me free
    Mother
    Mother
    Mother

    Condemning my true nature
    I stood outside of myself
    outside of myself
    I stood outside
    conditioning is what made me
    lose sight of myself
    lose sight of myself
    lose sight

    Ravens cry out, tides pull in,
    somehow she replenishes
    giving birth again
    Mother
    Mother
    Mother...
