Mother I'm tired
Mother I'm spent
Mother I'm scared of what I know

Mother don't go
I don't think I should be alone
I haven't stopped hearing what they said

Mother I'm stone
Talking to you on the phone
Mother it's starting to set in

Mother relax
Mother get off my back
It was only that I didn't understand

Did you read that news again, today?

Now its surreal
A difficult thing to heal
Do you just have to learn to live with it?
Do you live with it too?

Hush oh, hush now baby
Hush your mind
Hush oh, hush now baby
Hush your mind

Mother I'm tired
Mother I'm spent
Mother I'm scared of what i know

Brother I'm tired
Brother I'm spent
Brother I'm scared of what i know

Hush your mind
