Where will I be The day I need you for my own Who will I be When I can't reach you on the phone Will I still be the same Will I still feel this pain Will you still be mother When you're dead & gone All alone - on my own Finally me Without the mountains or the sea Lord, what is to be Why do my past just have to leave I always loved your soul I know I've been much too cold We've had times of trouble That were never told When is it too late to say That I loved you anyway Will I still be proud When you're dead & gone All alone - on my own Oh mother can't you see That this fight is all about me Why can't you understand That I'm a child And a grown up woman Mother can't you see That this fight is all about me You think that I'm wild But I'm a woman and still a child Disappointed and proud I wish I dared to scream out loud We've been the same God give me words so I can explain Don't say I never tried Don't ever say I lied Will I still be something When you're dead & gone Please try to ease my pain So I can feel again Say you always loved me Before you're dead & gone All alone - on my own But finally you won't be no other Than my mother
