Em            C                  G                          D
Mother don't worry, I killed the last snake that lived in a creek bed
Mother don't worry, I got some money I saved for the weekend
Mother remember being so stern about the girl who was with me
Mother remember the blink of an eye when I breathed through your body

Em            C            G                     D
So may the sunrise spring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds, flying upwards over the mountain

(Repeat Pattern)

Mother I made it up from the bruise of a floor of this prison
Mother I lost it, all of the fear of the Lord I was given
Mother forget me now that the creek drank the cradle you sang to
Mother forgive me, I sold your car for the shoes that I gave you

So may the sunrise spring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons can be birds, taken broken up to the mountain

Em            C               G                             D
Mother don't worry, I've got a coat & some friends on the corner
Mother don't worry, she's got a garden we're planting together
Mother remember the night that the dog had her pups in the pantry?
Blood on the floor & the fleas on their paws and you cried 'til the morning

Em            C            G                     D
So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds flying always over the mountain
