mother - markéta irglová lyrics

mother you brought me here, gave me a body
what you have done for me could have n0body else done for me
for 9 months you carried me within your own body
counting the days till having somebody to reap
all the warmth of your love
when i arrived you put me in the centre
orbited me like the moon bound to the earth
self*appointed to serve
you gave me a name you knew i could carry
watching me grow you hoped i would marry for lovе
have a daughter of my own someday
bеing born under a full moon gave me a blessing
of family and home, two pillars of your core beliefs
they made me who i am
the fruit of thy womb, the blood of your blood
filled with your strength, made of your love
i was born with wings so i could fly, but
i was your world, i was your everything
i know it broke your heart to see my wings unfurl
knowing you could no longer protect me
had to learn to just trust me
waiting to hear from me, to know i was ok
mother, you made every sacrifice
i am sorry to realise that no one was keeping score
mother, oh mother, i shall lay the world at your feet
mother i come from a long line of believers
keepers of knowledge, guardians and healers
i know it’s not been easy to survive
facing whole centuries of abuse and oppression
being denied all unbridled expression
you withdrew and went deep beneath the ground
there you’ve resided, silenced, downtrodden
in the million years past you’ve been nearly forgotten
all the same, there are those who remember your name
in the deepest of depths, all the way in the centre
you gave rise to a realm very few may enter
i ask your permission to pass
the world is in a state of perpetual chaos
people divided by forces who play us
against each other in defence of a lie
that says greed isn’t greed, just basic survival, and
nothing is gained by quoting the bible
to most, the truth remains obscured
i have come to collect you, and
bring you back up with me
i have felt you calling me every time i closed my eyes, and
wondered what future awaits us
you whispered that you would rise
to the master of the world’s surprise
he, who thought you buried alive
mother, oh mother, we need you now more than ever before
