Never Easy

From the belly of the abyss
Unfurling, like a cat
Stretching, pawing, yawning, stumbling
Into the sun
It's never been easy
For you and I
It's never been easy
For you and I
I didn't know
How much you loved me
I didn't know -
Until I had my own
Little daughter
Oh, my mama
I understand now
That you've always loved me more
It's never been easy
For you and I
It's never been easy
For you and I
I've been told that I arrived to
The cawing of a bird
Crying, yelling, screaming, howling
Into the sun
It's never been easy
For you and I
It's never been easy
For you and I
