Mother Cyndi Lauper

[Verse 1]
Over land and over sea
She reaches out to me
Weaving and threading the loom
From womb to womb

[Verse 2]
Slaves and merchants
Pilgrims and thieves
Felt her hand and charted skies
By following her moon

[Chorus]
Mother, mother
Mother, my mother

[Verse 3]
Some came and built with stone and bone
Some planted fields on promised land
And harvested their dreams
Then disappeared
As generations lose their memory
I'll try and remind my heart
And hope that it will set me free

[Chorus]
Mother, mother
Mother, my mother
