Ben Abraham - Somebody's Mother lyrics

[Chorus 1] I've called her an empress, I've called her a tempest A force with no equal, no other I've called her an angel, a rogue and a stranger But it just hit me now, she was somebody's mother [Verse 2] Suffer the children, cursed with the pattern So it has been or at least until now The looking gla** turns to the obvious person And I've seen it all and I still don't know how The heart won't be silent but why seek the silence?
