Mother, Father

Mother Father, tell me where I'm from

Tell me the story of what I've become

You were the ones to give me life

No one place I belong now, I realize

 

Brothers, how did you become so strong?

Tell me the reasons, and what I did wrong

So much broken love for so long

And I try to remember - we all belong

Tell me all about these winding roads,

I need to walk

Love will carry me to where I'm free,

Takes time to grow

Tell me all about these hills,

I have to climb

Love will carry me to where I'm free

I know for sure

Baba, Bibi you carried the weight,

Of ancestors long long heavy chains

Now I know the trouble ain't my own

No one can take this pain - now - I realize

Tell me all about these winding roads,

I need to walk

Love will carry me to where I'm free,

Takes time to grow

Tell me all about these hills,

I have to climb

Love will carry me to where I'm free,

I know for sure

Red sand underneath my feet

Blessings coming down for me

Red sand underneath my feet

Blessings and Lillies right at my feet

And i'm,

Blessings and Lillies right at my feet

Father tell me if wrong

Mother tell me how to belong

If we don't try it will remain

And I got no reason why should not try

And I got no reason why should not try

I got no reason why

Got no reason why should not try

Got no reason why should not

Got no reason why should not

Got no reason
