I AM MY MOTHER
words and music
(c) 1992 Nancy Abrams

I am my mother, my mother is me
And I am happy that's true
For I am what I am, and I like what I am
And I wouldn't be me without you

My generation would show yours
What freedom was for
I fought for years not to be you
Thinking that was the way to be more

But I am my mother, my mother is me
And I am happy that's true
For I am what I am, and I like what I am
And I wouldn't be me without you

I thought your life was a package
I must flee or else reproduce
I thought I could spring fully new
Like Athena from the head of Zeus

But I am my mother, my mother is me
And I am happy that's true
For I am what I am, and I like what I am
And I wouldn't be me without you

Now I have a daughter
I love as you love me
I raise my voice, and I make mistakes
And some things I can't see
Her dreams are growing stronger
Soon she'll go her own way
I only hope that she finds peace
Enough to be able to say

I am my mother, my mother is me
And I am happy that's true
For I am what I am, and I like what I am
I wouldn't be me without you
