Let My Children Be Lyrics by Ruby Hunter

Thoughts Within

0

[Chorus]
Let my children be
Let them free
I just wanna see
They're a part of me
Let my children be
Let them free
I just wanna see
They're a part of me
 
[Verse 1]
Yeah, he got custody
I saw their house
We were once married
He's my expense
We had our children
We had our lies
We had our differences
Now we live different lives
 
[Chorus]
Let my children be
Let them free
I just wanna see
They're a part of me

[Instrumental]
 
[Bridge]
(Let them free) Let my children free
(Let them free) Let my children free
(Let them free) Oh, my children
(Let them free) Oh, my children
(Let them free) Oh, my children
(Let them free) Oh, my children
(Let them free) Oh, my children
Let them free
 
[Verse 2]
Oh, getting close
What would you do?
If you was in my position
What would you do?
I am a mother
I'll always be
I know my children will come
Looking for me
While they are young
While I'm still here
You need not fear
My children are near
 
[Chorus]
Let my children be
Let them free
I just wanna see
They're a part of me

[Outro]
I just wanna see
They're a part of me
I just wanna see
They're a part of me
