Mother
Em D
This city is on fire tonight
Em C G D
Sweet forest fire silent and unseen
Em D
The sleepers awaken
G C G D
Your eyes are open I know you're smiling at me
Em D
Some people say you're not here anymore
Em C
But your trees stand proud
G D
And laugh and let them pass
Em D
So mischievous and holy
G C G D
And this is a question I'll never want to ask
G D Em C
There's a moon out there and she wants to be growing
G D Em
There's a river down here
C
and she wants to Go back to the sea
G D
I am your child, mother
Em C
Crying to be consoled
G D G
I recognize you now
C G
Do you recognize me?
Em D
There's a part of me that wants to be silent
Em C G D
Immersed in your movement
Em D
Stung by your grace
G C G D
And here is your song, and I'll sing it
Em D
I'm coming home
Em C
I've never been away
G D Em C
There's a moon out there and she wants to be growing
G D Em C
There's a river down here and she wants to Go back to the sea
G D
I am your child, mother
Em C
Crying to be consoled
G D G
I recognize you now
C G
Do you recognize me?
G D Em C
There's a moon out there and she wants to be growing
G D Em C
There's a river down here and she wants to Go back to the sea
G D
I am your child, mother
Em C
Crying to be consoled
G D G
Now that I know you
G D
I am your child, mother
Em C
Crying to be consoled

Recognize me!
