lyrics

In my life i've been compared to a little bird
I've got to spread my wings
You nested in my bed and I came alive
Now I can fly

I was given something real
But I didn't understand how to use it
I danced around my fears like my mothers before
But I abused it

Mama's dancing in the backyard
She's been asking these questions for a long, long time
She's been rolling her chances just to pass it on
Passing it on, passing it on

Tell me loving mother, where are you headed?
'Cause where you been don't bother me
Step away from the darkness and get back
to where you ought to be
Through the life you give there's an answer
All you gotta do is believe
This little bird you've been brooding has gone free
and soon will you be released

Mama's dancing in the backyard
She's been asking these questions for a long, long time
She's been rolling her chances just to pass it on
Passing it on, passing it on
Mama's dancing in the backyard
She's been asking these questions for a long, long time
She's been rolling her chances just to pass it on
Passing it on, passing it on, passing it on

A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe. Crow Yo
