Mothers Lament
There's a baby growing inside of me
And I don't know who I am anymore
Am I the girl I used to be so careless and free
Or a woman with the world in her belly
Oh they told me it'll be heaven
Yes they tell me it'll be hell
Oh they say a lot of things and I'm sure they mean well
But when you're in my arms oh everything will change
Cause you'll have my eyes and his last name
There's a baby staring back at me
And I wonder if he see's all my flaws
Like when I cry when we're alone in this prison we call home
Or a mother who's his whole world
Yes they told me it'll be heaven
Yes they tell me it'll be hell
Oh they say a lot of things and I'm sure they mean well
But when you're in my arms oh everything changed
Cause you have my eyes and his last name
Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh
There goes my baby driving away from me
And I don't know who I am anymore
A mother for eighteen years now an empty nest of tears
I wouldn't change it for the world if I could
Yes they told me it'll be heaven
Yes they tell me it'll be hell
Oh they said a lot of things and I'm sure the meant well
But when you left my arms oh everything changed
But you'll have my eyes and his last name
Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh
When you left my arms oh everything did change
But you'll still have my eyes and his last name
And I don't know who I am anymore
Am I the girl I used to be so careless and free
Or a woman with the world in her belly
Oh they told me it'll be heaven
Yes they tell me it'll be hell
Oh they say a lot of things and I'm sure they mean well
But when you're in my arms oh everything will change
Cause you'll have my eyes and his last name
There's a baby staring back at me
And I wonder if he see's all my flaws
Like when I cry when we're alone in this prison we call home
Or a mother who's his whole world
Yes they told me it'll be heaven
Yes they tell me it'll be hell
Oh they say a lot of things and I'm sure they mean well
But when you're in my arms oh everything changed
Cause you have my eyes and his last name
Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh
There goes my baby driving away from me
And I don't know who I am anymore
A mother for eighteen years now an empty nest of tears
I wouldn't change it for the world if I could
Yes they told me it'll be heaven
Yes they tell me it'll be hell
Oh they said a lot of things and I'm sure the meant well
But when you left my arms oh everything changed
But you'll have my eyes and his last name
Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh
When you left my arms oh everything did change
But you'll still have my eyes and his last name
