lyrics

I don't wear my face, like a woman should
And I don't hear the call, like a mother would
I've been working on a dream, and you waited patiently
Am I still enough for you, is it all enough for me
Don't count the days cause they'll never come again
Or all the ways that you'll never be a woman

I went up on a mountaintop, just to see what my brother saw
But the merciless moon it fell, left me there with empty arms
Will I ever see through the eyes of a mother, through the eyes of my love
Time won't wait for me, so I run for the cover, of the arms of my love
Don't count the days cause they'll never come again
Or all the ways that you'll never be a woman
Don't be afraid that your purpose is another
Not every maid was born to be a mother

Don't count the days cause they'll never come again
Or all the ways that you'll never be a woman
Don't be afraid that your purpose is another
Not every maid was born to be a mother
