Melanie Bender - Hey Mother Lyrics

Hey Mother
HEY MOTHER
Words and Music by Steve Bender

Young girl is walking up and down the street
Her body’s moving on two stumbling feet
There is fog in her eyes
She can hardly walk straight

A man comes walking close to her
A hand reaches out something’s moving somewhere
And she follows him
And they both drive away
I can almost read her thoughts saying
Should I leave or should I stay

Hey mother, don’t you miss your little baby tonight?
Hey father, are you sure that you treated her right?
If your love is so strong
Why does she feel so alone?

Young girl’s body lying on the ground
Cold and lifeless she was found
Dear lord above
Give her all your love

Hate, crime, drugs and dope
Loveless childhood life without hope
Its dog eat dog
Sad but true
You better beware before the dogs are out to eat on you

Hey mother, don’t you miss your little baby tonight?
Hey father, are you sure that you treated her right?
If your love is so strong
Why does she feel so alone?
Hey mother, don’t you hear your baby’s crying for you?
Hey father, can’t you see that your baby’s so blue?
If your love is so strong, why is she so alone?
