I was born in the living room
My momma nearly died there
Pulled away from her arms too soon
Tried all these years to find her

Although he tried to break me
Like a colt that won’t be tied
I’d fight to keep my mind free

I cling to your hem
And follow after
I cling to your hem
And follow

I cling to your hem
