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
