[00:01.10] My mother had a brother
[00:05.30] They say that I was born on the day that he died
[00:11.20] Someone to cling to, she said
[00:14.80] When all the noises and the shame came calling
[00:21.10] My mother had a brother
[00:24.760] I thought I knew them all, I thought I knew
[00:29.00] But she lied
[00:31.60] I said, Show me his face again
[00:36.50] Tell me again why he died
[00:39.90] She said he couldn't wait for the things that I've seen
[00:44.60] She said he wasn't strong enough
[00:47.00] He never dared to dream a life like mine
[00:58.90] My mother had a brother
[01:03.00] Over-sensitive and kind
[01:08.20] Seems it all became too much for him
[01:15.40] It seems he took his own life
[01:19.10] Mum, I can't imagine
[01:21.75] The joy and pain in equal measure
[01:29.60] Tears in the dirt, and all over your newborn treasure
[01:37.60] I guess he had to wait until my momma had me
[01:42.80] I guess he couldn't wait another moment to be free
[01:48.40] In endless sky...
[01:55.60] But mama will you tell him from your boy
[02:03.90] The times they changed
[02:07.60] I guess the world was getting warmer
[02:12.50] And we got stronger
[02:16.00] Mother will you tell him about my joy
[02:23.00] I live each day for him
[02:28.10] The sun came out, yeah...
[02:34.30] And I'm just breathing it in (breathing)
[02:41.00] ......
[02:57.40] My mother had a brother
[03:00.80] Same desire, different time
[03:07.30] Seems the empty spaces tortured him
[03:13.70] Until he took his own life
[03:17.00] I don't know why I waited so long for love
[03:21.80] I just don't know what I was thinking of..
[03:27.20] All that wasted time
[03:34.70] But mama will you tell him from your boy
[03:42.60] The times they changed
[03:46.60] I guess the world was getting warmer
[03:51.50] While we got stronger
[03:54.30] Mother will you tell him about my joy
[04:02.00] I live each day with him
[04:06.90] Your son came out, yeah...
[04:12.10] And I'm still breathing it in
[04:17.50] ......
[04:55.00] And I swear now that freedom is here
[04:59.80] I'm gonna taste it all for you boy
[05:05.40] I'm bad to the bone, I'm just a little torn
[05:10.00] I'm making so much love
[05:14.30] So those of us who have nothing to fear
[05:19.30] We've got to make damn sure that it was worth it
[05:24.80] I'm bad to the bone, I'm just a little stoned
[05:29.40] I'm making so much love
[05:31.80] I was a prisoner, but he saved me
[05:37.70] Broke into my dreams and said, Who cares?
[05:42.00] I was a prisoner, so disgrace me
[05:47.40] I'm glad to be home
[05:50.00] And I don't believe they care
[05:59.00]
