Verse

mother don't worry, i killed the last snake that lived in the creek bed

mother don't worry, i've got some money i save for the weekend

mother remember being so stern with that girl who was with me?

mother remember the blink of an eye when i breathed through your body?

Chorus

so may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten

sons are like birds flying upward over the mountain

Verse

mother i made it up from the bruise of a floor of this prison

mother i lost it, all of the fear of the Lord i was given

mother forget me now that the creek drank the cradle you sang to

mother forgive me, i sold your car for the shoes that i gave you

Chorus

so may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten

sons are like birds flying upward over the mountain

(Slide Lead)

Verse

mother don't worry, i've got a coat & some friends on the corner

mother don't worry, she's got a garden we're planting together

mother remember the night that the dog had her pups in the pantry?

blood on the floor & the fleas on their paws

and you cried 'til the morning

Chorus

so may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten

sons are like birds flying upward over the mountain
