Mother I'm tired
Mother I'm spent
Mother I'm scared of what I know
Mother don't go
I don't think I should be alone

I haven't stopped hearing what they said
Mother I'm stone
Talking to you on the phone
Mother it's starting to set in
Mother relax

Mother get off my back
It was only that I didn't understand
Did you read that news again, today?
Now its surreal
A difficult thing to heal

Do you just have to learn to live with it?
Do you live with it too?
Hush oh, hush now baby
Hush your mind
Hush oh, hush now baby

Hush your mind
Mother I'm tired
Mother I'm spent
Mother I'm scared of what I know

Brother I'm tired
Brother I'm spent
Brother I'm scared of what I know
Hush your mind
