I remember the pain in my mother's eyes, |
| [00:23.98] |
I remember the pain of her compromise years ago. |
| [00:29.10] |
|
| [00:31.67] |
I always wanted to help to make it go away, |
| [00:34.10] |
I didn't know it was her freedom that she needed so. |
| [00:37.48] |
|
| [00:41.60] |
And she said to me, she said to me: |
| [00:49.91] |
|
| [00:53.04] |
He hitch-hiked to Maine, |
| [00:55.60] |
We went cross-country. |
| [00:56.48] |
I had to leave my home, |
| [01:00.97] |
I had to raise a family |
| [01:03.29] |
We did the best we could being so young, |
| [01:08.48] |
We tried to hard to build a happy home. |
| [01:15.48] |
I never knew what to say to anybody, |
| [01:17.92] |
I didn't know what to do, I was far too young. |
| [01:25.91] |
But everybody could feel the suffocation, |
| [01:28.29] |
Underneath for facade of a happy home. |
| [01:34.60] |
|
| [01:35.54] |
And she said to me, she said to me: |
| [01:42.85] |
|
| [01:47.17] |
Chorus |
| [01:47.85] |
Home sweet freedom, flowing in my eyes, Home sweet freedom, |
| [01:54.37] |
flowing in my mind. |
| [01:58.06] |
Sacrificed her dreams to motherhood, |
| [01:59.49] |
Waiting and waiting to be understood fully. |
| [02:01.93] |
Sacrificed her years to the family, |
| [02:04.87] |
Waiting and waiting to be heard finally. |
| [02:06.68] |
And she said to me, she said to me... |
