[00:02.26] | My mother had a brother |
[00:05.95] | They say that I was born on the day that he died |
[00:11.77] | Someone to cling to, she said |
[00:15.64] | When all the noises and the shame came calling |
[00:21.64] | My mother had a brother |
[00:25.27] | I thought I knew them all, I thought I knew |
[00:29.64] | But she lied |
[00:31.76] | I said, “Show me his face again, tell me again why he died” |
[00:40.64] | She said he couldn't wait for the things that I've seen |
[00:45.26] | She said he wasn't strong enough, he never dared to dream a life like mine |
[00:59.83] | My mother had a brother |
[01:03.77] | Over-sensitive and kind |
[01:09.08] | Seems it all became too much for him.. |
[01:16.27] | It seems he took his own life |
[01:20.14] | Mum, I can't imagine the joy and pain in equal measure |
[01:30.83] | Tears in the dirt, and all over your newborn treasure |
[01:38.83] | I guess he had to wait until my momma had me |
[01:43.82] | I guess he couldn't wait another moment to be free |
[01:49.58] | In endless sky.. |
[01:57.70] | But mama will you tell him from your boy |
[02:05.20] | The times they changed |
[02:08.96] | I guess the world was getting warmer |
[02:13.83] | And we got stronger |
[02:17.33] | Mother will you tell him about my joy |
[02:24.27] | I live each day for him |
[02:29.33] | The sun came out, yeah, and I'm just breathing it in |
[02:39.14] | (breathing) |
[02:58.77] | My mother had a brother |
[03:02.14] | Same desire, different time |
[03:08.76] | Seems the empty spaces tortured him |
[03:15.39] | Until he took his own life |
[03:18.52] | I don't know why I waited so long for love |
[03:23.33] | I just don't know what I was thinking of.. |
[03:28.70] | All that wasted time |
[03:36.33] | But mama will you tell him from your boy |
[03:44.33] | The times they changed |
[03:48.32] | I guess the world was getting warmer |
[03:53.52] | While we got stronger |
[03:56.46] | Mother will you tell him about my joy |
[04:03.89] | I live each day with him |
[04:09.02] | Your son came out, yeah, |
[04:15.27] | And I'm still breathing it in |
[04:57.03] | And I swear now that freedom is here |
[05:01.60] | I'm gonna taste it all for you boy |
[05:07.60] | I'm bad to the bone, I'm just a little torn |
[05:11.97] | I'm making so much love |
[05:15.16] | |
[05:17.03] | So those of us who have nothing to fear |
[05:21.40] | We've got to make damn sure that it was worth it |
[05:26.78] | I'm bad to the bone, I'm just a little stoned |
[05:32.09] | I'm making so much love |
[05:35.21] | I was a prisoner, but he saved me |
[05:39.84] | Broke into my dreams and said, “Who cares?” |
[05:44.21] | I was a prisoner, so disgrace me |
[05:49.52] | I'm glad to be home |
[05:52.03] | And I don't believe they care. |
