INDEPENDENCE - 4.45
Roberts/Lakeman

lyrics

It's hard to learn what to say at the right time.
So I'm watching you and waiting for the cue for my next line.
Oh Mama show the way, Oh Mama what should I say?

It's hard to know who to trust and who's on my side.
So I'm watching you, waiting for the nod that it's alright.
Oh Mama let me know, Oh Mama when do you let go?

I have to learn to get up and go to bed on my own.
I have to learn the time for silence.
I have to learn when I need friends and when to be alone.
What is this word? What is this word?
Independence.

I try so hard to please you, to be your favourite song.
Now I'm watching you and trying not to sing the lyrics wrong.
Oh Mama am I right? Oh Mama will you sing to me each night?

I have to learn to question and form answers on my own.
I have to learn the way to listen.
I have to take the blame sometimes and learn how to atone.
What is this word? What is this word?
Independence.

I try not to imagine what it's like when you're not here.
So I'm watching you and laying down new memories each year.
Oh Mama am I good? Oh Mama do I do the things I should?
