Lyrics
A SONG FOR MY MOTHER// Don't you ever take a stranger's hand Or leave your clothes out in the rain Keep the darks from the lights Hang 'em neatly to dry Don't leave your bed undone You're not yet free to roam Keep your sisters in your hearts Your little brothers in your arms And don't you forget the way home Don't turn your hearts against me now 'Cause my love's spread so thin Of you there are many and me I'm just me And my love's spread so thin Through a mother's eyes, it's a big bad world It ain't a pretty place for all my pretty little girls So when I tell you no, when I hold you back There's a good reason why, you must know that Mama teach me how to cook I need to feed my family some day Mama teach me how to sew The clothes on my back may be the best friends I'll have Mama teach me how to trust I wanna love a man some day Mama teach me how to hold my tongue And learn to just wait for the world to just turn Submitted by Anonymous
