My mother's eyes have known the things that move inside my brain And if you ask her what she sees her answer will not change Her voice is like a lullaby, she sings to give you rest Enduring through the brokenness - my children, you are blessed Remember where my father's been and what he gave to me I tell you this because he too, once swam inside the sea The thoughts you choose to follow out will lead you where you wish But when the water disappears do not remain a fish The air cannot accommodate the ones who need to drink So recognize the time you take in every way you think
