0:21I remember the pain in my mother's eyes
0:23I remember the pain of her compromise years ago
0:31I always wanted to help to make it go away
0:34I didn't know it was her freedom that she needed so
0:41And she said to me she said to me:
0:53He hitch-hiked to Maine
0:55We went cross-country
0:56I had to leave my home
1:00I had to raise a family
1:03We did the best we could being so young
1:08We tried to hard to build a happy home
1:15I never knew what to say to anybody
1:17I didn't know what to do I was far too young
1:25But everybody could feel the suffocation
1:28Underneath for facade of a happy home
1:35And she said to me she said to me:
1:47Chorus
1:47Home sweet freedom flowing in my eyes Home sweet freedom
1:54Flowing in my mind
1:58Sacrificed her dreams to motherhood
1:59Waiting and waiting to be understood fully
2:01Sacrificed her years to the family
2:04Waiting and waiting to be heard finally
2:06And she said to me she said to me
I remember the pain in my mother's eyes I remember the pain of her compromise years ago I always wanted to help to make it go away I didn't know it was her freedom that she needed so And she said to me she said to me: He hitch-hiked to Maine We went cross-country I had to leave my home I had to raise a family We did the best we could being so young We tried to hard to build a happy home I never knew what to say to anybody I didn't know what to do I was far too young But everybody could feel the suffocation Underneath for facade of a happy home And she said to me she said to me: Chorus Home sweet freedom flowing in my eyes Home sweet freedom Flowing in my mind Sacrificed her dreams to motherhood Waiting and waiting to be understood fully Sacrificed her years to the family Waiting and waiting to be heard finally And she said to me she said to me
