My Mother Had A Brother

歌曲歌詞

My mother had a brother

They say that I was born on the day that he died

Someone to cling to she said

When all the noises and the shame came calling

My mother had a brother

I thought I knew them all I thought I knew

But she lied

I said Show me his face again

Tell me again why he died

She said he couldn’t wait for the things that I’ve seen

She said he wasn’t strong enough

He never dared to dream a life like mine

My mother had a brother

Over-sensitive and kind

Seems it all became too much for him

It seems he took his own life

Mum I can’t imagine

The joy and pain in equal measure

Tears in the dirt and all over your newborn treasure

I guess he had to wait until my momma had me

I guess he couldn’t wait another moment to be free

In endless sky

But mama will you tell him from your boy

The times they changed

I guess the world was getting warmer

And we got stronger

Mother will you tell him about my joy

I live each day for him

The sun came out yeah

And I’m just breathing it in (breathing)
