lyrics

O Mother o Father
Oh mother oh mother why do you believe
in all the old stories, all the mouldy myths?

They are not my stories, though I know them well
The tale of the hills is the one that I can tell

Oh father oh father, when I see the hills
I know they have always been here and always will

But my stories end at the bottom of these hills
And my will melts with them as they are standing still

Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out

Oh mother oh mother, I don’t understand
Will ever tomorrow reach our little land?
Oh father oh father this is not my time
it’s already been breathed through someone else’s lungs

Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out

Oh mother oh father
What is a tomorrow?
Oh mother oh father
Oh mother oh father

Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
