My dreams were carved of yours
My flesh of your bone
Your number the first that I
Labeled as home
In darkness I called out your name
I pray that I'll see you
On the other side
No daughter, but mother, still mine
Here's to the day of your birth
Do you regret mine?
Should we engage in a war
With limited time?
Somewhere there's a vision of us:
You understand
And we're doin fine
No daughter, but mother, still mine
Across the ocean
Past this life
Will you remember me
As divine?
Or some carbon copy
From 1999?
You didn't stay the same
Why should I?
Those years were carved of gold
And made for fools
In sunlight I hold out my hand
I pray that you'll see me
Somewhere down the line
No daughter, but mother
No daughter, but mother
No daughter, but mother, still mine
