I'm every friend who comes along
I'm every road you'll travel on
Please my baby understand
I have no other plan but you
And I feel more like a monster every day
Mother needs her children
Mother needs her children here
At home
Whatever you are, I'll agree
Whatever you need, I'll be
Please my baby understand
I don't need any man to love
And I feel more like a monster every day
Mother needs her children
Mother needs her children here
At home
Never mind how far you fall
Forty years, I dreamed you all
He chained me and he harmed me
He made a wreckage of me
And took my babes away
Mother needs her children
Mother needs her children here
At home
