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 and 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 and 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 and gone      Please try to ease my pain   So I can feel again   Say you always loved me   Before you're dead and gone   All alone on my own      But finally you won't be no other   Than my mother
