Oh mother Im fine, I seldom get down 
At least not for a day 
Oh mother Im fine, not for some time 
Have I been in pain 
Oh mother the time, wont wait for us now 
We cant wait in vain 
Oh mother dont cry, well try to get by 
Well try to be brave 
Got a feeling coming round 
Holding me down 
Ive got a hold of you 
So open 
Open 
Oh mother you called, your voice hangs above 
The fog in my brain 
Oh mother the time, mother the time 
Might tick for me now 
Oh mother the pain, is part of the joy 
And that is the deal 
Oh mother Im fine, Im blinking in time 
To block out the fear 
Got a feeling coming round 
Holding me down 
Ive got a hold of you 
So open 
Open 
Im feeling so alive
