Mother

(Em)               (D) 
This city is on fire tonight 
(Em)     (C)           (G)            (D) 
Sweet forest fire silent and unseen 
(Em)             (D) 
The sleepers awaken 
(G)     (C)                (G)                     (D) 
Your eyes are open I know you‘re smiling at me 
(Em)                      (D) 
Some people say you‘re not here anymore 
(Em)                     (C) 
But your trees stand proud 
(G)              (D) 
And laugh and let them pass 
    (Em)              (D) 
So mischievous and holy 
(G)               (C)            (G)            (D) 
And this is a question I‘ll never want to ask 
 
(G)          (D)                      (Em)           (C) 
There‘s a moon out there and she wants to be growing 
(G)          (D)                       (Em)                      (C) 
There‘s a river down here and she wants to go back to the sea 
(G)           (D) 
I am your child, mother 
(Em)         (C) 
Crying to be consoled 
(G)       (D)           (G) 
I recognize you now 
        (C)            (G) 
Do you recognize me? 
 
There‘s a part of me that wants to be silent 
Immersed in your movement 
Stung by your grace 
And here is your song, and I‘ll sing it 
I‘m coming home 
I‘ve never been away 
 
There‘s a moon out there and she wants to be growing 
There‘s a river down here and she wants to go back to the sea 
 
I am your child, mother 
Crying for you to console me 
Now that I know you 
Do you recognize me? 
 
There‘s a moon out here and she wants to be growing 
Here‘s a river down here and she wants to go back to the sea 
I am your child, mother 
Crying to be consoled 
Now that I know you 
Recognize me!
