Can't You See (What's Going On?)

I feel the heartbeat of my mother,
Soothing, safely in her womb
Now will I ever find another
Place as safe before my tomb

*'Cause what I see
makes me wanna scream:
Can't you see lover?
Can't you see what's going on
Can't you see lover?
Can't you see what's going wrong
Can't you see? *

Child's play was easy going
Easy, had no rent to pay
Games got harsh, the gardens gutted
Dark signs paving all my way

You'd think the walls, when you grow older,
Shrank, but they get taller, too
Will I succeed, will I surrender
Challenged every day anew

I feel the heartbeat of my mother,
Soothing, safely in her womb
Now will I ever find another
Place as safe before my tomb
