Oh mother

Oh mother I'm running from

From the arms of another

Of another broken home

Remember when we were children

We were just children having fun

With the old ghost in the garden

Before we started growing up

Oh

Oh

Oh father

Oh father I guess I'm wrong

The castles in the kitchen that we kept building

Slowly gone

Remember when we were children

We were just children singing songs

Passed down from your father

Before we started growing old

When was the last time we

Stayed up to count the stars

When was the last time we

Said that the world was ours

Oh mother

Oh mother I'm outgrown

I'm outgrown

Oh brother my brother

Where have you gone

I wrote to you said I missed you

You and our sister are moving on

Remember when we were children

We were just children having fun

I fall asleep with a burden

And we get up early to beat the sun

When was the last time we

Stayed up to count the stars

When was the last time we

Said that the world was ours

Oh mother

Oh mother I'm outgrown

We never can not know

We never can outgrow

When was the last time we

Stayed up to count the stars

When was the last time we

Said that the world was ours

Oh mother

Oh mother I'm outgrown

We never can not know

We never can outgrow
