Mother may I, take two steps forward? Mother may I, come to your bedside? Mother may I, tell you of the torture? Mother may I, request a sweet lullaby? Mother may I, plant understanding? Mother may I, ever cross the sea? Mother may I, keep on exploring? Mother may I, drift away from thee? I may, mother, drift across the bar. I may, mother, sink beneath the storm. I may, mother, find God over par. I may, mother, be whole yet still torn. I may, mother, be gloried yet pained. I may, mother, be generationally ***** I may, mother, be lost and not found. I may, mother, be within—without.

4. Georg meets his mother
Mother may I, take two steps forward? Mother may I, come to your bedside? Mother may I, tell you of the torture? Mother may I, request a sweet lullaby? Mother may I, plant understanding? Mother may I, ever cross the sea? Mother may I, keep on exploring? Mother may I, drift away from thee? I may, mother, drift across the bar. I may, mother, sink beneath the storm. I may, mother, find God over par. I may, mother, be whole yet still torn. I may, mother, be gloried yet pained. I may, mother, be generationally ***** I may, mother, be lost and not found. I may, mother, be within—without.
