Jane Siberry Oh my my Lyrics:
everything you say
everything you do
will come back
to stand with you
everything you trust
everything you feel
will come back
to kneel with you
everything you say
everything you try
will come out
sounding like a lie
everything you trust
everything you know
will turn to dust
will blow
away
...oh my my...
i'm cracking
i'm cracking
cracking
i'm cracking into a thousand pieces
open up your eyes
mama mama please come quick
something's wrong i'm feeling sick
mama mama i'm in a mess
i can't lose this heaviness
oh my...oh my my my...oh my mother
mary had a little lamb
little lamb
little lamb
mary had a little lamb
its fleece was...oh...
mama mama
i searched these hills for my sweet lamb
i carried myself up the mountain
and 5 men came out
and i laid myself down
and i looked around
and i couldn't find my sweet lamb
i'm looking for my bottom line
and as soon as i find it
i'm gonna turn my life around
oh my...oh my my my...oh my mother
oh my...oh my my my...oh my brother
you're floating in a harbour
in the middle of the night
and you're looking all around you
and you can't see any light
and the black and starless heavens
weigh down upon your soul
and you face the open sea
and you're not sure that you wanna go
and you scan the horizon
but the only light you find
is in the place you came from
the place you left behind
oh so you're moving out
moving out
moving out
cutting the cords
you don't know where you're going
and you don't have any maps
and the only thing you're sure of
is you ain't...going...back
1. you will be born into a
strange and desolate place.
2. it will be called "the
average home."
3. the times will be restless
and full of uncertainty.
4. you will silently
question this of your mother
as you watch her move away.
precious candles
your light is your own
is life not precious?...
your light is your own
mama mama
please come quick

i feel so sick
mama mama
something's wrong
my heart is breaking
but i don't know why
oh my...oh my my my...oh my mother
oh my...oh my my my...oh my brother
5. there will be no answer.
6. you will begin the long
process of shutting down.
7. your countenance will
reflect less light and later
when you look
at pictures of yourself you will wonder.
8. you will give up your
backbone to the t.v. and
accept a value system
9. putting forth lies,
hatred and intolerance
in the name of love as
acceptable.
10. no one will step forward
from the shadows saying:
"expect this, it is
part of the path."
11. you will discover drugs and alcohol.
12. you will instinctively
move towards your own bottom
line.
precious candles
your light is your own
precious candles
your light is your own
mama mama please come quick
hold my head i feel so sick
mama mama let me come home
wrap me up i can't get warm
oh my...oh my my my...oh my mother
oh my...oh my my my...oh my brother
13. you will rush
headlong towards your
bottom line in an
instinctive attempt
to heal.
14. you will go to aa to
learn what you should have
learned in sunday school.
15. and then you will give
yourself permission to
cry. and you will cry and
cry and cry.
16. and your friends will
move away nervously and
you'll feel like a fool.
17. and no one will step forward
from the shadows saying
18. "the journey
forward includes movement
into despair."
19. and you will be gathering strength
20. even as you don't understand.
21. and certain words like love and...
22. integrity will be
drawn into your spine.
23. and then one day...
24. you will turn off the t.v.
precious candles
your light is your own
precious candles
your light is your own
mama mama something's wrong
there's only silence where
there once was song
i keep hearing all these bells
am i healing or dying? i can't tell.
hey ho
sail on out
sail all night
sail on with all your might
land ahead
land ho
land ho
land ho
i sure miss that little lamb
that little lamb called puff
or...was it...poof? or...
well, anyways, i sure miss that sweet lamb
lay down upon your pillow...
just live all you can knowing that's all
you have to give
mama mama i almost did it
i almost carried myself
up the mountainside
in my own arms
and laid myself down
there a new strength nearby, i know
and as soon as i find my bottom line
i'm gonna turn my life around
i sure miss that little lamb...
here i go
