# Verse 1
In the womb, we wondered and feared
Is there life after birth, or is it just a myth we've heard?
One baby said, "Shirley, I know, there's nothing after we're born"
But the other baby said, "Surely, there must be something more"
# Chorus
Oh, mother, are you out there?
Can you hear us, can you show us you care?
We're searching for a truth, a life beyond this place
Oh, mother, we need your gentle face
# Verse 2
We've got the umbilical cord, it's all we've known
But is it enough, or is there something more to call our own?
One baby said, "There's nothing after birth, no mother, no life"
But the other baby said, "I feel her presence, she's always right"
# Chorus
Oh, mother, are you out there?
Can you hear us, can you show us you care?
We're searching for a truth, a life beyond this place
Oh, mother, we need your gentle face
# Bridge
If you close your eyes and listen closely, you'll see
That mother is not just in us, but all around, she's setting us free
Maybe not seen, but she's always near
Through us, she is us, she's always here
# Chorus
Oh, mother, are you out there?
Can you hear us, can you show us you care?
We're searching for a truth, a life beyond this place
Oh, mother, we need your gentle face.
We need your touch
We need ur love
