[00:01.10]My mother had a brother
[00:05.30]They say that I was born on the day that he died
[00:11.20]Someone to cling to, she said
[00:14.80]When all the noises and the shame came calling
[00:21.10]My mother had a brother
[00:24.760]I thought I knew them all, I thought I knew
[00:29.00]But she lied
[00:31.60]I said, Show me his face again
[00:36.50]Tell me again why he died
[00:39.90]She said he couldn't wait for the things that I've seen
[00:44.60]She said he wasn't strong enough
[00:47.00]He never dared to dream a life like mine
[00:58.90]My mother had a brother
[01:03.00]Over-sensitive and kind
[01:08.20]Seems it all became too much for him
[01:15.40]It seems he took his own life
[01:19.10]Mum, I can't imagine 
[01:21.75]The joy and pain in equal measure
[01:29.60]Tears in the dirt, and all over your newborn treasure
[01:37.60]I guess he had to wait until my momma had me
[01:42.80]I guess he couldn't wait another moment to be free
[01:48.40]In endless sky...
[01:55.60]But mama will you tell him from your boy
[02:03.90]The times they changed
[02:07.60]I guess the world was getting warmer
[02:12.50]And we got stronger
[02:16.00]Mother will you tell him about my joy
[02:23.00]I live each day for him
[02:28.10]The sun came out, yeah...
[02:34.30]And I'm just breathing it in (breathing)
[02:41.00]......
[02:57.40]My mother had a brother
[03:00.80]Same desire, different time
[03:07.30]Seems the empty spaces tortured him 
[03:13.70]Until he took his own life 
[03:17.00]I don't know why I waited so long for love
[03:21.80]I just don't know what I was thinking of..
[03:27.20]All that wasted time
[03:34.70]But mama will you tell him from your boy
[03:42.60]The times they changed
[03:46.60]I guess the world was getting warmer
[03:51.50]While we got stronger
[03:54.30]Mother will you tell him about my joy
[04:02.00]I live each day with him
[04:06.90]Your son came out, yeah...
[04:12.10]And I'm still breathing it in
[04:17.50]......
[04:55.00]And I swear now that freedom is here
[04:59.80]I'm gonna taste it all for you boy
[05:05.40]I'm bad to the bone, I'm just a little torn
[05:10.00]I'm making so much love
[05:14.30]So those of us who have nothing to fear
[05:19.30]We've got to make damn sure that it was worth it
[05:24.80]I'm bad to the bone, I'm just a little stoned 
[05:29.40]I'm making so much love
[05:31.80]I was a prisoner, but he saved me
[05:37.70]Broke into my dreams and said, Who cares?
[05:42.00]I was a prisoner, so disgrace me
[05:47.40]I'm glad to be home 
[05:50.00]And I don't believe they care
[05:59.00]
