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
