For a Thousand Mothers (incl. guitar solo) Songtext
von Jethro Tull

Did you hear mother?
Saying I′m wrong, but I know I'm right
Did you hear father?
Calling my name into the night
Saying I′ll never be what I am now
Telling me I'll never find what I've already found
It was they who were wrong
And for them here′s a song


Did you hear baby
Come back and tell you the things he′s seen?
Did it surprise you
Being picked up at eight in a limousine?
Doing the things he's accustomed to do
Which at one time it seemed like a dream
Now it′s true
And unknowing you made it all happen this way

Did you hear mother?
Saying I'm wrong, but I know I′m right
Did you hear father?
Calling my name into the night
Saying I'll never be what I am now
Telling me I′ll never find what I've already found
It was they who were wrong
And for them here's a song
