For A Thousand Mothers by Jethro Tull

Did you hear mother --
Saying i'm wrong but i know i'm right.
Did you hear father?
Calling my name into the night.
Saying i'll never be what i am now.
Telling me i'll never find what i've already found.
It was they who were wrong,
And for them here's a song.
Did you hear baby --
Come back and tell you the things he's seen.
Did it surprise you
To be picked up at eight in a limousine?
Doing the things he's accustomed to do.
Which at one time it seemed like a dream
Now it's true.
And unknowing
You made it all happen this way.

Did you hear mother --
Saying i'm wrong but i know i'm right.
Did you hear father?
Calling my name into the night.
Saying i'll never be what i am now.
Telling me i'll never find what i've already found.
It was they who were wrong
And for them here's a song.
