Don't forget your mother
She brought you in this world
You are the dream that she once had
Since she was just a little girl
Send her cards and flowers
Don't step on the crack

The world don't owe you nothing
Don't even know your name
You might be a king or queen
But the end treats you just the same
Drop your crumbs before you leave
Don't cover up your tracks

Someday you may lose your true love
to a stranger in a crowd
Same story for a thousand years
that makes you cry out loud
But one day shell find that stranger
Is just a con man in a gunny sack

Go to your confession
Read your horoscope
Tell a white lie to a rabbi
make a collect call to the Pope
But the faith that will save you
will also break your back

You might be in a wheelchair
or have to step so light
around the world in 80 days
at the speed of light
Everything that is given to you
may one day be taken back
