I've been looking for a mother
I've been looking for a child
I've been looking for somebody
To keep me from running wild
Right in the middle of the loving
I somehow become a little boy
Still looking for love still wanting his toys
What is this thing we do
Something pulls us together
And we act like fools
What shall I be free or woman hungry
It looks so much like romance
You know how I love to dance.
Can we learn to love
Can we ever be free
Will we ever rise above
All of the problems that we carry
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
With mother earth all around me
Still I cannot see
My friends all love me
So why can't I
I'm not alone in this world
We breathe the same air you and I
Can we learn to love
Can we ever be free
Will we ever rise above
All of the problems that we carry
