about

Oh Mother - Amy Papiransky PRS/MCPS

My mum is the strongest woman I know, strong in so many different ways. FACT...

lyrics

Oh how, oh how can you be so strong?
Oh how, oh how can you just smile at me?
At 5 at 5pm we both were born.
Oh my mother, my mother and me.


At 12, at 12 I judged the whole world.
At 12, I could not really see.
Oh why, oh why do you have aching bones
I hope your strength grows stringer in my.


I feel, so sad and all this anger,
Lies in my father and in me.
But blue, oh blue skies shine above you,
Oh my mother oh how I love you.


Bridge:


Your precious aching bones, your precious aching bones.
Your precious aching bones lie in… lie in our way.

Oh how, oh how can you be so strong?
Oh how, oh how can you just smile at me?
At 5 at 5pm we both were born.
Oh my mother, my mother and me.
