Molly Venter - Good Mother lyrics

Would you understand me, oh, if I could not speak? Would you feed me supper if I got too weak? Would you drive six hours just to watch me sit and stare? If I got to that point, oh, would I even care, would I even care? So what is the essence of this soul, when the years have taken their toll? I am afraid trapped in this broken mind And all you can do is just be kind to me. Be kind.... If I looked right through you would you still know that I'm there? If I lost my footing would you help me up the stair? Would you lead me back to bed if I wandered in the night? And if they came to take me from you would I put up a good fight? Would I put up a good fight? So what is the essence of this heart? Love is the one thing I can take with me to the dark And I am alone trapped in this broken mind And all you can do is just be kind to me. Be kind.... Would you know my grandkids, 'bout the way I used to be? Would you know my children, you all carry part of me? Would you know my husband, you're the true love of my life? Would I rest in knowing I was a good mother and good wife? Good mother and good wife? So what is the essence of this life? Can you still feel a joy beneath the cutting of the knife? And I see you scared trapped in those pretty working minds And all we can do is just be kind. Just be kind....
