Character: Chrysalis

lyrics

Oh Mother, I cannot believe just how
It's been so long,
I wish you still were here
Oh Mother, I can hear you even now,
The quiet songs
You sang to quell my fear

Oh Mother, every lullaby you sang
Put me to sleep
I wish I had that back
'Cause oh, Mother every night it is the same
The Nightmare creeps
My hope is turning black

(Chorus)
I wish that things could change,
I know I'm missing you
But every time I call it love I know it isn't true
I'll never need a lover, and I'll never need a friend
But every day I wish that I could just go home again

Dear Mother, please don't hate me what I've done
It's all I've got
I want to save us all
Dear Mother, can't you see that I have won
And this is what
I dreamed since I was small?

Can't you see that I have done our people well,
I took the love
Of those who thought us lies!
Dear Mother, please won't you come back and tell me
I'm above
The ones who I've defied?

(Chorus)
I wish that things could change,
I know I'm missing you
But every time I call it love I know it isn't true
I'll never need a lover, and I'll never need a friend
But every day I wish that I could just go home again

(Interlude)
But no, you've gone away
You left me all alone
I pray I'll show you all, I did it right,
But maybe love will win this fight

I wanted to prove I'd prevail
To show you all I wouldn't fail
But Mother oh, it hurts my core,
I won the battle, but lost the war

I see it now, it's not about the hate
If only I could learn such love, I wouldn't face this fate
Dear mother I cannot go home again
The place I knew is dead and gone
My time is at its end...

(Chorus)
I wish that things could change,
I know I'm missing you
But every time I call it love I know it isn't true
I'll never need a lover, and I'll never need a friend
But every day I wish that I could just go home again
