Mother (R.I.P.)
Mother
You taught me things
That I didn't know
Some things I can tell
Some things I can show
You taught me control
That I didn't know
Sometimes it can flow
Sometimes it can blow
Mother of me
You held the key
We would all agree
You were the referee
But seeing you forever
Was no guarantee
You taught me the truth
You taught me the lies
Everything that is here
Everything that dies
You taught me more
More than a school would
You taught me less
Less than a school should
Mother of me
You held the key
We would all agree
You were the referee
But being here forever
Was no guarantee
You taught me when to speak
If it was my turn
To not just talk loud
But to listen and learn
You are the best teacher
The best of the preachers
To love all of the liars
To love all of the creatures
Mother of me
You held the key
I think we would all agree
You were the referee
Staying with us forever
Was not guaranteed
You taught me to be free
To not always agree
Not to conform
But to be just me
You taught me life
