Sara Melson - My Own Most Beloved Child lyrics

Turned away from the good ones And I got burned by the bad I wouldn’t do it all over again If I knew what I had Now everybody is a mother and a wife And still I wander through This lonely gypsy life I better be my own most loving parent Be my own most beloved child Be my own most willing lover And let my spirit run wild One day soon I will be fatherless and motherless Each year I reach an age I never saw before I thought by now that a couple of kids would be playing on the floor But I made my bed and now here I lie With only me to blame With these old bones and wrinkled freckled skin And my old maiden name I better be my own most loving parent Be my own most beloved child Be my own most willing lover And let my spirit run wild I want to watch the world Through the eyes of a baby New and beautiful Mystical and crazy I want to have a strong man by my side You know I tried, I tried I’m gonna be my own most loving parent Be my own most beloved child Wrap my own loving arms around me And let my tears run wild I better be my own most loving parent Be my own most beloved child
