Mother lyrics

When you became my mother, there was time You thought I'd be a daughter, but didn't mind And as the world began to measure, and define We had time We had time You gave me light and language, and a name You held me to the fire, to the flame Now if I could tell the future, all the same Why would I We have time Deep beneath the surface of the earth So many bodies waiting for the word When every child and mother will return Forever We'll have time
