Mothers
Your eyes are wide and in your hands
You carry seashells and a ring found in the sand
A strip of red and gold brocade
A chain of seaweed you untangled from your hair
You were once so free that you were even wilder than the sea
And you moved the moon and brought the waves directly to your feet
And you took what you could take
But now your eyes are hard and small
And in your hand the only thing that keeps you warm
A glass of wine, a bitter taste
But better than the thoughts you try to wash away
You were once so free that you were even wilder than the sea
And you moved the moon and brought the waves directly to your feet
And a song inside you sang
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Wouldn't you like to feel the sand in your hair and on your feet?
And wrap the air around your skin?
And feel the sting of salt against your cheek?
Wouldn't you like for just this once
You could be seen, you could be heard?
And you could live without the pain
Of not being loved again and again?
To be wild, to be free (to be free)
To be free, to be wild (to be wild)
To be wild, to be free (to be free)
To be free and be wild (to be wild)
You were once so free that you were even wilder than the sea
And you moved the moon and brought the waves directly to your feet
You were once so free that you were even wilder than the sea
And you moved the moon and brought the waves directly to your feet
And you took what you could take
To be wild, to be free (to be free)
To be free, to be wild (to be wild)
To be wild, to be free (to be free)
To be free and be wild
You were once so free that you were even wilder than the sea
And you moved the moon and brought the waves directly to your feet
You were once so free that you were even wilder than the sea
And you moved the moon and brought the waves directly to your feet
And you took what you could take
You carry seashells and a ring found in the sand
A strip of red and gold brocade
A chain of seaweed you untangled from your hair
You were once so free that you were even wilder than the sea
And you moved the moon and brought the waves directly to your feet
And you took what you could take
But now your eyes are hard and small
And in your hand the only thing that keeps you warm
A glass of wine, a bitter taste
But better than the thoughts you try to wash away
You were once so free that you were even wilder than the sea
And you moved the moon and brought the waves directly to your feet
And a song inside you sang
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Wouldn't you like to feel the sand in your hair and on your feet?
And wrap the air around your skin?
And feel the sting of salt against your cheek?
Wouldn't you like for just this once
You could be seen, you could be heard?
And you could live without the pain
Of not being loved again and again?
To be wild, to be free (to be free)
To be free, to be wild (to be wild)
To be wild, to be free (to be free)
To be free and be wild (to be wild)
You were once so free that you were even wilder than the sea
And you moved the moon and brought the waves directly to your feet
You were once so free that you were even wilder than the sea
And you moved the moon and brought the waves directly to your feet
And you took what you could take
To be wild, to be free (to be free)
To be free, to be wild (to be wild)
To be wild, to be free (to be free)
To be free and be wild
You were once so free that you were even wilder than the sea
And you moved the moon and brought the waves directly to your feet
You were once so free that you were even wilder than the sea
And you moved the moon and brought the waves directly to your feet
And you took what you could take
