Mother
upon your hair
is growing up a shelter
Father
upon your face
there's a heavy boundary line
who will shoot?
there's an empty place where everyone belongs
all we own
when a thought beats a nail on the wall
when a thought beats a nail on the wall
I won't wake up in another shelter
never ever let you go
I won't drift out in another direction
never ever let you go
I won't give up
Together we are starting over
Daughter
among your head
is growing up the shelter
Between your legs
there's a heavy boundary line
who will shoot?
there's an empty place where everyone belongs
all we own
when a thought beats a nail on the wall
when a thought beats a nail on the wall
I won't wake up in another shelter
never ever let you go
I won't drift out in another direction
never ever let you go
I won't give up
Together we are starting over
Mother
I just swore it to my son
I just swore it to my son
I just swore it to my son
Father
I just swore it in the sun
I just swore it in the sun
