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
To be 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
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
To be 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
