Mothers Gone

Mothers gone
She left long ago
Memories of the cookie jar
That she loved so
Wonder when we look inside
If we will know
Where Mothers gone........

Evil Christmas,
And there's bombs exploding
Underground
and all around our hearts
Surely, you don't believe we're sane
And yet we don't complain
We keep throwing darts at each other
And run for cover, we run for Mother, but

Where's Mother gone?   She left long ago......

Each inside our own thoughts
We're realizing pain
But no one's admitting
We have to lose to gain
When outside on the streets, the rain
Crys, as it's coming down
But no one's admitting
Because they're afraid
To make a sound, and scream.....

Where's Mother Gone?  Where's Mother gone............
