Minnesota
Minnesota, when I was your daughter
I looked up to you
I thought that you knew all there was to know
I thought that you'd been where you had to go
Minnesota, now that I'm your mother
I see you as you are
You're not some shining star, not a destination
You're a growing child, that I hope to raise right
My hopes for you are my hopes for me
My dreams for you are my dreams for me
America, when I was your daughter
You meant the world to me
You held my every dream
You promised me protection
You promised me my freedom
America, now that I'm your mother
Now that you're the younger
I'm trying to hold your hand
I hope you understand
That if you don't move toward them
Dreams get broken
My hopes for you are my hopes for me
My dreams for you are my dreams for me
And I love you like a trouble-child
I love you like a river wild
I love you like a mother dead
I love you like a dawning
And I love you like a trouble-child
I love you like a river wild
I love you like a mother dead
I love you like a dawning
My hopes for you are my hopes for me
My dreams for you are my dreams for me
And I love you like a trouble-child
I love you like a river wild
I love you like a mother dead
I love you like a dawning
And I love you like a trouble-child
I love you like a river wild
I love you like a mother dead
I love you like a dawning
I looked up to you
I thought that you knew all there was to know
I thought that you'd been where you had to go
Minnesota, now that I'm your mother
I see you as you are
You're not some shining star, not a destination
You're a growing child, that I hope to raise right
My hopes for you are my hopes for me
My dreams for you are my dreams for me
America, when I was your daughter
You meant the world to me
You held my every dream
You promised me protection
You promised me my freedom
America, now that I'm your mother
Now that you're the younger
I'm trying to hold your hand
I hope you understand
That if you don't move toward them
Dreams get broken
My hopes for you are my hopes for me
My dreams for you are my dreams for me
And I love you like a trouble-child
I love you like a river wild
I love you like a mother dead
I love you like a dawning
And I love you like a trouble-child
I love you like a river wild
I love you like a mother dead
I love you like a dawning
My hopes for you are my hopes for me
My dreams for you are my dreams for me
And I love you like a trouble-child
I love you like a river wild
I love you like a mother dead
I love you like a dawning
And I love you like a trouble-child
I love you like a river wild
I love you like a mother dead
I love you like a dawning
