Текст: Marie Fredriksson. Mother.

Where will I be
The day I need you for my own
Who will I be
When I can't reach you on the phone

Will I still be the same
Will I still feel this pain
Will you still be mother
When you're dead and gone
All alone on my own

Finally me
Without the mountains or the sea
Lord, what is to be
Why do my past just have to leave

I always loved your soul
I know I've been much too cold
We've had times of trouble
That were never told

When is it too late to say
That I loved you anyway
Will I still be proud
When you're dead and gone
All alone on my own

Oh mother, can't you see
That this fight is all about me
Why can't you understand that I'm a child
And a grown up woman

Mother can't you see
That this fight is all about me
You think that I'm wild
But I'm a woman and still a child

Disappointed and proud
I wish I dared to scream out loud
We've been the same
God give me words so I can explain

Don't say I never tried
Don't ever say I lied
Will I still be something
When you're dead and gone

Please try to ease my pain
So I can feel again
Say you always loved me
Before you're dead and gone
All alone on my own

But finally you won't be no other
Than my mother
