Mother

No-one looks at me, how they looked at me
No-one talks to me, how they talked to me
And it feels so strange, now that we are three.
Nothing is the same as it used to be.

And I'm frightened too,
That you might not see.
I'm still a child,
Though a child is growing in me.

Have I lost her now to a better place?
Will I see her smile, on my baby's face?
Can I live my life, with her style and grace?
Can I take the role, fill the empty space?

And I'm frightened too,
That I might not be.
All that her dreams
Said a daughter of hers would be

Mother, maman, mama, mother
Mother, maman, mama, mother

Mother, maman, mama, mother
Mother, maman, mama, mother

I'm frightened too
Mother
