Mother Mother

 

 

 

Mother- mother tell me why

Your child in the street

Cars rushing by- rushing by

 

Mother- mother tell me

Why …why …why

 

Mother- mother tell me why

You never told me streets weren’t safe to play

Cars rushing by- rushing by

 

Mother- mother tell me

Why …why …why

 

Mother- mother tell me why

This is my playground

Cars rushing by- rushing by

 

Mother- mother tell me

Why …why …why

 

Mother- mother tell me why

People in the street they cry

Cars rushing by- rushing by

 

Mother- mother tell me

Why …why …why

 

Mother- mother tell me why

Please don’t cry

Cars rushing by- rushing by

 

Mother- mother tell me

Why …why …why

 

Mother- mother tell me why

I see the lights hear siren screams

Cars rushing by- rushing by

 

Mother- mother tell me

Why …why …why

 

Mother- mother tell me why

It’s time for me to catch a ride

Cars rushing by- rushing by

 

Mother- mother tell me

Why … why …why

 

Mother- mother tell me why

It’s time for me to say good-bye

Cars rushing by- rushing by

 

Mother- mother tell me

Why …why …why

 

Mother- mother tell me why

I’m soaring up beyond the sky

Cars rushing by- rushing by
