Why didn't anyone believe

A single word when you said it was

It was your father's friend

Who knows, you prob'ly brought this on yourself
G D C
It's better not to tell
[Chorus]

Mother, mother, how many tears have you cried?
Em D C D
Mother, I will listen to you tonight to the truth

Mother, I won't turn away when you speak
D Em D Em
I'm listening, I'm listening

To a daughter now it happens too

Suppose to be a friend

You tried to forget the way you felt

You fought, but he forced himself on you

He left you black and blue

And brother, where could you run?

Could you learn to speak again

If we were only listening?

Brother, there is freedom for you to cry
