My mother had a brother
Over sensitive and kind
Seems the empty spaces tortured him 
Until he took his own life
I can't imagine the joy and pain 
In equal measure
Tears in the dirt, all over your new born treasure

I guess he could n't wait for the things that I've seen
Guess he wasn't strong enough, he never dared to dream
A life like mine

Mama will tell him from your boy
The times they changed
I guess the world was getting warmer
And we got stronger
Mother will you tell him about my joy
I live each day for him
Your son came out yeah
And I'm just breathing it in

My mother had a brother
Same desire, different time
Seems it all became 
Much too much for him
Until he took his own life

I don't why I waited so long for love
I just don't what I was thinking of
All that wasted time

And I swear now that freedom is here
I'm going to taste it all for you boy
I'm bad to the bone
I'm just a little torn
Making so much love
And those of us who have nothing to fear 
We better make damn sure it was worth it
Bad to the bone, just a little torn
Making so much love

I was a prisoner
But he saved me
Came in to my dreams said who cares
I was in prison
So betray me
I'm glad to be home 
And I don't believe they care.
