The Years in Between

I am my own mother
I am my own child
She is her own mother
She is her own child
A different love to uncover
Set it free to the wild
I will let go of who I wish she was
Love her for all the ways she empowers herself
She’s got strength to hold on to what I would let go
Tolerance of pain only a mother would know
Tolerance of pain only a mother would know
I’ll take my small hands in my hands
On my hip I’ll carry the years in between
I’ll hold the child that’s hiding in me
A house made of blankets is all we need
We don’t have to leave to flee this place called home
We don’t have to flee to build one of our own
A seamless seam is sewn
Build a palace, no house of cards
A bridge and a garden, tall grass to hide
Willow trees trace water’s edge
It’s me on the other side
Feet in sand
across the stream
I’ll take my small hands in my hands
Clasped, spinning merry-go-round
Rejoice that we’ve found out:
A circle doesn’t have to be a cycle
A circle doesn’t have to be
She is her own mother
I am my own child
I am my own mother
She is her own child
I will let go of my mother
Set her free to the wild
