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.
