Mother

Em          D
This city is on fire tonight
Em   C       G        D
Sweet forest fire silent and unseen
Em         D
The sleepers awaken
G   C           G              D
Your eyes are open I know you're smiling at me
Em               D
Some people say you're not here anymore
Em              C
But your trees stand proud
G         D
And laugh and let them pass
   Em         D
So mischievous and holy
G          C        G        D
And this is a question I'll never want to ask

G       D               Em       C
There's a moon out there and she wants to be growing
G       D                Em               C
There's a river down here and she wants to Go back to the sea
G       D
I am your child, mother
Em      C
Crying to be consoled
G     D       G
I recognize you now
     C        G
Do you recognize me?

There's a part of me that wants to be silent
Immersed in your movement
Stung by your grace
And here is your song, and I'll sing it
I'm coming home
I've never been away

There's a moon out there and she wants to be growing
There's a river down here and she wants to Go back to the sea

I am your child, mother
Crying for you to console me
Now that I know you
Do you recognize me?

There's a moon out here and she wants to be growing
Here's a river down here and she wants to Go back to the sea
I am your child, mother
Crying to be consoled
Now that I know you
Recognize me!
