mother's day - forje lyrics

[intro]
thanks for everything mum
and sorry for everything too
it’s only right that you get your own song

[verse 1]
survivor’s story, thank you and sorry, coming straight from the mother tongue
father ran from motherland, so now i stand as mother’s son
milk tears or single mother’s appreciation
the difference between a single woman with kids and a mum
homeless young, attitude show how it’s done
black and white, disguised racism, a sign of the times
mum in a million, you epitomise
challenges, above them you rise
one day your dreams will look identical through open eyes
happy cries
sorry and thank you, forever in your debt
application of lesson; never give up, no matter how hard it gets
practice what you preach, take positives from negatives
like the successful raising of five kids, who all know who the sperm donor is… useless
to make more life, your own you sacrifice
forever grateful, much more than suffice
job well done
forever live through your offspring and generations to come
ended up with two parents in just the shape of one

[chorus]
thank you for everything mum, for all that you’ve done
thank you for everything mum, i’m proud to be your son
to you, from me, thank you and sorry, more of what i should say
happy mother’s day to you, everyday

thank you for everything mum, for all that you’ve done
thank you for everything mum, i’m proud to be your son
to you, from me, thank you and sorry, more of what i should say
happy mother’s day to you, everyday

[verse 2]
adulthood we cover up, no good at expressing feelings
childhood, we would use words without knowing the meanings
no balance, it’s complicated
as more candles blown, wishes of being regrown with this knowledge
to say how it is as a kid…

surely your body’s gone numb
from being a hard working mum
so now to return the favour
for making dinner such a good flavour
without you life would be glum
we love you, mum

summarised shared thoughts, career out of sorts
pay cheque never crossed naughts, but the sk!lls you possess cannot be bought
passed on and taught
cards only time you get credit for
showing poor, we have to do more
i would hate to think that you’re ever thinking you’re hated
it’s just confusion created, by not knowing how to express to you that you really are appreciated
without material things
empty words if not fully demonstrated
feelings still show when i’m faded
never the smoke, never the drugs
out of prison, out of touch
will power matched out of respect and love
routes you could’ve taken from the rough, on welfare
wishing things could be, well, fair
your best interests always our welfare
thank you not enough, half a century later
giving it a hundred until i’ve finally returned the favour
in a life that doesn’t favour, anomalies from the stats
everything we don’t have, you make up for so much more than that

[verse 3]
i apologise for all of the lies
extended to all my contributions towards your wet eyes
blame lies with being a kid
isn’t that what all children did?
young at heart, grown mind
it’s easier to find, courage than excuses
now i’m grounded through all i’ve lived and lost since i was founded
since i was born, not as good as how the former sounded
until my name is a benchmark, plaque surrounded
you’ll always be in my memory, all i can i will give
