[00:02.26]My mother had a brother
[00:05.95]They say that I was born on the day that he died
[00:11.77]Someone to cling to, she said
[00:15.64]When all the noises and the shame came calling
[00:21.64]My mother had a brother
[00:25.27]I thought I knew them all, I thought I knew
[00:29.64]But she lied
[00:31.76]I said, “Show me his face again, tell me again why he died”
[00:40.64]She said he couldn't wait for the things that I've seen
[00:45.26]She said he wasn't strong enough, he never dared to dream a life like mine
[00:59.83]My mother had a brother
[01:03.77]Over-sensitive and kind
[01:09.08]Seems it all became too much for him..
[01:16.27]It seems he took his own life
[01:20.14]Mum, I can't imagine the joy and pain in equal measure
[01:30.83]Tears in the dirt, and all over your newborn treasure
[01:38.83]I guess he had to wait until my momma had me
[01:43.82]I guess he couldn't wait another moment to be free
[01:49.58]In endless sky..
[01:57.70]But mama will you tell him from your boy
[02:05.20]The times they changed
[02:08.96]I guess the world was getting warmer
[02:13.83]And we got stronger
[02:17.33]Mother will you tell him about my joy
[02:24.27]I live each day for him
[02:29.33]The sun came out, yeah, and I'm just breathing it in
[02:39.14]（breathing）
[02:58.77]My mother had a brother
[03:02.14]Same desire, different time
[03:08.76]Seems the empty spaces tortured him
[03:15.39]Until he took his own life
[03:18.52]I don't know why I waited so long for love
[03:23.33]I just don't know what I was thinking of..
[03:28.70]All that wasted time
[03:36.33]But mama will you tell him from your boy
[03:44.33]The times they changed
[03:48.32]I guess the world was getting warmer
[03:53.52]While we got stronger
[03:56.46]Mother will you tell him about my joy
[04:03.89]I live each day with him
[04:09.02]Your son came out, yeah,
[04:15.27]And I'm still breathing it in
[04:57.03]And I swear now that freedom is here
[05:01.60]I'm gonna taste it all for you boy
[05:07.60]I'm bad to the bone, I'm just a little torn
[05:11.97]I'm making so much love
[05:15.16]
[05:17.03]So those of us who have nothing to fear
[05:21.40]We've got to make damn sure that it was worth it
[05:26.78]I'm bad to the bone, I'm just a little stoned
[05:32.09]I'm making so much love
[05:35.21]I was a prisoner, but he saved me
[05:39.84]Broke into my dreams and said, “Who cares?”
[05:44.21]I was a prisoner, so disgrace me
[05:49.52]I'm glad to be home
[05:52.03]And I don't believe they care.
