oh mother hold my hand along the road, sing your wordless song to the rhythm of our feet, the road it feels too long, i feel i might lose something sweet, oh mother please donât let it come out wrong, oh mother canât you see that iâm not strong, oh mother, stand beside me when iâm pounding on her door, with her yellow roses, please donât leave them there just dying, her goodbye echoes around the hallway down to me, please donât let me fall apart before i leave, oh mother canât you see that weâre not free
oh mother oh mother
thereâs nowhere to run when whatâs done is done, the blood just sits there on the floor and leaving canât erase it, i wish i could cut my shame away, all those hurtful pieces gone astray, i canât feel no absolution
oh mother oh mother
oh mother pull the small ones from the floor, dull the rocket sound, let them feel sunlight once more, soothe the shattered, the fractured, with secrets too big for the small, oh mother help us take the wounded in, please show us all weâre worth more than our skin
oh mother oh mother
oh maria oh maria
