Another day is washed away
|
And all alibis are out
|
And the hand that used to heal me only cursed me now
|
The echoes of a woman so kind
|
Rain like waterfalls and ice-cream on my worried mind
|
I lay there in the puddle of myself
|
Fishing from a brand new wish from that bucket down the well
|
And in her colors I find my faith
|
Cause I remember every word that lady used to say
|
She said that hearts can’t break themselves
|
Looking for something, leaving with nothing
|
But souls can’t save themselves
|
Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine
|
Be a long way home without you
|
It’s just a long way home without you
|
Yeah, yeah
|
That’s my mother, like no other
|
Made me human, made me brother
|
And it’s swelling with blister for my sake and my sisters
|
The guardian of my karma, keep my feet on terrain firmer
|
And then release me like a to the sky
|
She said that hearts can’t break themselves
|
Looking for something, leaving with nothing
|
But souls can’t save themselves
|
Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine
|
Be a long home without you
|
It’s just a long way home without you
|
Yeah, yeah
|
Sister, you have some hungry eyes
|
And by back you’re hypnotized
|
Smiling faces in disguise
|
By back you’re hypnotized
|
Keep going against the grain
|
And soon that’s all, soon that’s all you’ll know
|
And soon that’s all you’ll know
|
And let’s get this straight
|
Sometimes you’ll rise, and there’s time you’ll fall
|
After all, you’re just blood and bones
|
And you don’t owe no one, oh
|
No, you don’t owe no one
|
So don’t live like one price is right
|
Cause there is some things in your life that you can’t fight
|
She said that hearts can’t break themselves
|
Looking for something, leaving with nothing
|
But souls can’t save themselves
|
Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine
|
Be a long home without you
|
It’s just a long way home without you
|
Yeah, yeah
|
She said that hearts can’t break themselves
|
Looking for something, leaving with nothing
|
But souls can’t save themselves
|
Learning to fly, learning to fly
|
She said that souls can’t save themselves
|
Learning to fly, learning to fly
|
Oh souls can’t save themselves
|
Learning to fly, learning to fly
|
Oh momma, how I love you
|
Learning to fly, learning to fly
|
No momma, how I love you
|
Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine
|
We’re a long way home without you |
