For A Thousand Mothers

Did you hear mother saying I'm wrong, but I know I'm right
Did you hear father calling my name into the night
Saying I'll never be what I am now
Telling me I'll never find what I've already found
It was they who were wrong
And for them here's a song

Did you hear baby come back and tell you the things he's seen
Did it surprise you being picked up at eight in a limousine
Doing the things he's accustomed to do
Which at one time it seemed like a dream, now it's true
And unknowing you made
It all happen this way

Did you hear mother saying I'm wrong, but I know I'm right
Did you hear father calling my name into the night
Saying I'll never be what I am now
Telling me I'll never find what I've already found
It was they who were wrong
And for them here's a song
