Her baby rolls away with her youth
But all the while lengthening her earthly remembrance
For the days and nights to come
Her life will dwindle
While her memory continues to be kindled
As her daughter grows
She will fall
As her daughter succeeds in life
This mom will gain strife
She will lose that bond
And her connection with her baby
But her heart will now jump
If daughter only says maybe
So these two lives split
As one branches and
The other decays
So little room for both to remain
As the mother comes to her end
The daughter finally realizes
Her growth is the reason
For her mother’s late season
But that’s the way it is
And never will it change
The daughter will steal
What her mother gives away
Something so cruel
Can only make sense
In the eyes of a mother
Who gives it all to a daughter

And her connection with her baby

So little room for both to remain
As the mother comes to her end

But that’s the way it is
And never will it change
The daughter will steal
What her mother gives away
Something so cruel
Can only make sense
In the eyes of a mother
Who gives it all to a daughter
