Mother

I took you for granite
As the stone unmoved of mountains
The ground on which I stood
My daring feat to fight
And fight though I did with Father Sky
All the mere constellation rises
It was you and I, after all
Quietly gardening my dreams

Steady, like the ocean waving endlessly hello
Well, hello, I’m doing good, Mother, please, be pleased to know
And know, deep within your endless heart
You give me love
What more could the Son ask, but for the fuel to shine?

And know now, that I knew it all along—yes, all along
I was just embarrassed at the infinite imbalance
But here’s a song, for what it’s worth
Mother, I’m sorry I ignored you – I can’t afford to anymore
Time has us both in line for dying

Let me take you for granite
As the stone unmoved of mountains
The ground on which I stand, my feat to love
And love, yes, I can, from your teachings
Quiet teachings, I will show you love
