Mother

         "The Mother, giver of life.  Birth canal, river of knowledge.
         Our bleeding entrance, the start of it all."

     I've been alive a thousand years, maybe more
     You see I have no beginning, so there's no ending to my score

     Take me to the river, where the watchful eye is seeing
     Sing me a sad song, while the new born baby's teething
     And then take me to the Mother, where the river's mouth is bleeding
     And I'll thank you forever that life won't be deceiving anymore

     Paint me a picture of a landscape with a view
     So I can carve a sculpture of my mother to hold true

     Sleeping sound for what seems an eternity
     Now I wake to the sounds of life's songs
     I will discover what holds me to what I feel
     The truth will find the way to me
