Our mother made us into swimmers
She threw her babes into this river
Full of mud and dense with weeds a century of odd debris
We learned to fight and learned to love
Our breaths were short we shared them with our brothers
We learned new games under the covers
How to laugh and how to grieve
We learned to trust we learned to leave
We found this water's deeper than we
Guessed we had learned enough ways to love
Still I don't know mother who we are
Our minds were sharp our bodies burning
We gave ourselves over to learning
How to break and how to give
Betrayal taught us to forgive
We stretched and soaked up everything
They taught us well we were first in our classes
We learned to see through many glasses
How to sink and how to fly
We learned to watch each other die
This course is harder than we
Thought we had learned enough ways to love
Still I don't know mother where we are
We thought we were walking the way to love
Our mother made us into swimmers
She threw us straight into the river
Our minds were sharp our bodies burning
We threw ourselves into our learning
Dear god this current's stronger than we
Thought we had learned enough ways to love
Still I don't know mother who you are
I thought I was well on my way to love
Do we have time to take a nap
The house is on fire the sky is falling
Baby get back get back this is your mother calling
Do we have time to take a nap
The house is on fire the sky is falling
Baby get back get back this is your mother calling
Do we have time to take a nap
The house is on fire the sky is falling
Baby get back get back this is your mother calling
Do we have time to take a nap
The sky is on fire the house is falling
Baby get back get back this is your mother calling
Do we have time do we have time do we have time do we
The sky is on fire The sky is on fire
Do we have time to take a nap
The house is on fire the sky is falling
Baby get back get back this is your mother calling
