Why did you do it, I'm dying to know
What happened to my father, did he just go?
I've spent my whole life curious of knowing who you are
I've cried and dreamed but you seemed so far
I hope that one day I'll be able to say to my big brother
That you cared, you really did
You didn't do it foolishly to have a kid
Unknown mother don't you see what you've done
He doesn't care that he's your son
He refuses to talk about you at all
He says why should I care if she didn't want me at all
His life is a mess and so is mine
Not knowing who you are is a murderous crime
My life's never been normal for even a minute
People have told me that you're not worth it
The pain and anger I've kept inside was once too much for me
I know why the caged bird sings; he only wanted to be free
Free of knowing who you are
Free of having the choice to know
Freedom of understanding why you are here
Mother, mother don't you know what you've caused
My movie of life will forever be paused
I only know not even half of who I am
I learned songs of gospel like God's Little Lamb
Those songs gave me hope but only for a bit
It wasn't long before I realized you couldn't hear it
Many tears have left my eyes
Before I was oblivious, now its you I despise
I wonder if it hurt you too
Seeing your children go
But honestly mother you did it and knew
That we wouldn't be yours forever.
