Lady
I've known the woman all my life
we've had our good we've had our strife.
she raised my brithers and myself
we weren't rich but we had wealth.
I'm talking of the love we shared
she gave us love because she cared.
Twenty years without new shoes
she worked so hard and payed her dues
He'd come on payday and steal the glory
of course we loved him but we knew the story.
She is all that we have now
I wish I could tell her but I don't know how.
We fuss and fight and disagree
she demands her rights and I am free.
I've turned around and walked away
but I think about her every day.
I hate the way some things occur
but she is my mother and I love her.
