My Mother Said – Anneke Van GiersbergenBy My mother said “I gained a friendAt the end of the heart to heart”My mother asked, “Will you be fineWith the choices you make in your life?”And you pick me upAnd you hold me closeAnd you show the wayAnd you let me goMy father said, “Use your headThe guys upstairs, they just don’t care”My father asked, “Will you be safeWhen you are always so far away?”And you pick me upAnd you hold me closeAnd you show the wayAnd you let me goI let the light into my lifeClose my eyes before I dieAnd you let me goAnd you sent me offInto the skyAlways believe in me, always beside meI’ve come this far and I’ll be goingFarther than the starsAnd you pick me upAnd you hold me closeAnd you take my handAnd you watch me growAnd you show the wayAnd you let me goI let the light into my lifeClose my eyes before I dieAnd you let me goYou let me goMy mother said, “I gained a friend” www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
