Mother Of Us All Lyrics

I remember the way you held me

I remember the songs you sang to me

I remember the simple rhythm

When you were breathing into me

Now and then when the air is fragrant

I remember the turning pages

That you read when the stars were vacant

I remember so

Why did I leave you far behind

Why did I tear myself in two

I threw away the gifts you gave to me

Why was I afraid of you?

I'm praying for your presence

Washed in this endless ocean

We need you, we need you here

Mother of us all

I'm waiting until I feel you near

Calling every one of your names

We forgot you, we forgot your face

Mother of us all

You remember the times I hurt you

You remember the times I spurned you

You remember the wall I built between us

Made of chains and fire that burned you

You remember the curses spoken

All the misery I buried us both in

All the history left unbroken

You remember so

Why did you reach your hands out to me

Why did you wipe away my tears

Can you still love your wayward child

Why aren't you afraid of me?

I'm praying for your presence

Washed in this endless ocean

We need you, we need you here

Mother of us all

I'm waiting until I feel you near

Calling every one of your names

We forgot you, we forgot your face

Mother of us all
