For a Thousand Mothers - 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

To be 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
