Song for Mom....
roots
hey lady,
don't i know you?
i've seen you somewhere
you sure look different now
sitting in that subway chair
what did they do to you?
was your spirit broken
right in two?
if i let you up for air
would you do something
other than stare?
so pull, pull
with all your might
the stars are shining bright tonight
these walls could never keep you in
we could walk for miles and miles
or climb a hill and wait a while
might as well begin
you're pulling up your roots again....
hey lady isn't there
a stop where you get off?
were you so different
they had to make you stop?
i heard they pulled you down
way out on the edge of town
just how do they define
the difference between madness
and right of mind?
(chorus)
hey lady isn't there
a place where you are going?
it's getting late now
much later than the clock is showing
hey now, your roots are showing
and nothing can stop them from growing
i'll smile and say i understand....
(chorus)
