lyrics

I’m reaching out to
You my dear
But there’s no way of
Getting through
You’re trapped beneath
Your mother’s skin
Just doing
What you do
I guess I’ll have to
Bide my time
Count the hours
Until the light you find
I know that you’ll be
Looking for a sign
Of my first
Unselfish act

When I first
Heard the news
I felt the strangest
Sense of calm
Now for me
That’s really saying something
It’s not like me
To be so strong
I think I knew
Right then and there
The time was right for me
And I had love to spare
It was only later on
That I felt scared
Of my first
Unselfish act

What could I ever
Be for you
At such
A tender age
Except for another
Pair of hands
And a steady
Weekly wage
There’ll come a time
When you’ll ask for me
‘Til then I’m just
A vessel for a seed
Wondering what on earth
It could be
My first
Unselfish act

I dropped a coin into
A beggar’s cup
Then just went
About my day
There are those who wouldn’t
Think to stop
Those who’d
Give everything away
My own parents
They lived a life
Of blood and toil
And sacrifice
Now they’re looking on
Standing by
For my first
Unselfish act
