lyrics

You were a Mother in a den,
a Mother in a den of Motherless men.
You were a Mother in a den,
a Mother outnumbered until the end.

These streets are ones I'll never walk,
and we,
we don't talk much,
we don't talk much anymore.

With you I've never walked,
and we,
we don't talk much,
we don't talk much anymore.

What if things had been different,
and only you were consistent?
Cruelty is indifferent,
greater still, your persistence.

I want to revisit places I've never been before,
I want more than familial folklore.
Come and take me by the hand,
come and rewind, show me that--

I want to revisit places I've never been before,
I want to know the path your feet had hoped for.
You were life in a barren land,
come and reroute, show me that--

I want to revisit places I've never been before,
draw me a map where we don't have to keep score.
You were outnumbered until the end,
come and rewrite, show me that again.
