Laurie Anderson - The Mother Meditation lyrics
[Laurie Anderson - The Mother Meditation lyrics]
There's a Buddhist exercise called
The Mother Meditation
And you use it when you can't
Feel anything you try to
Find a single moment when your
Mother truly loved you
– without a single reservation and you focus
On that moment and then you imagine
That you've been everyone's mother – and
They've been yours and I looked
And I looked for that moment but
It just kept slipping away
"So, which way do we go?"
"Thanks, no, it's been, it's been, uh, it's
Been a privilege and you, and your
And your family and and just one more
Question did you ever really love me?"
