Anyone Seen My Mum
Mum I am Searching for you
Lies, Lies, but before you die tell me the truth
So you had me and gave me away
But there was nothing I could do
I was just a little one only six weeks old
But you were my mum
So my life started in a convent and then a foster home
Then I ended up in care
But you didn’t want to share
Anything that you did or with me in your life
You just left me as that was your device
You hoped I would forget about you
But sometimes you sent me shoes
And I knew they were from you
I have a son, he’s your flesh and blood too
But who the hell are you
My son is my life
And I would rather he not know
How you just let us go
I don’t know what the reason was
But to me I wish I knew
Because even though I don’t think you do
And without me ever knowing you
I however still love you
Because you are my Mum!
