Listen to me, you little bud,
You'll do as I demand!
C'mon, who takes that much time
to run a simple errand?

You know, you're smart
but not enough, you'll never catch up to me!
For you'll always remain my little twig,
because I birthed you, you see!

I'll take your life into my own hands,
ain't I a God to you?
So leave the rest to me, stop arguing,
just do what I tell you to do!

"But mom-"
Did you dare oppose me?
Hey, you're alive because I let you be!

I've lived more than you, I know better,
I'm taking away your choice,
Telling the safer way, and I know
one day you will rejoice.

"Why can't I see for myself?"
don't you trust me, feather?
Mistakes made by one should never
be repeated by another.

What's the point to it?
Why don't you wanna reach the peak with planes on your side?
"Cause mom one day I'll have to die,
and I wanna enjoy the ride."

"I want to tread my own way,
and it's okay if I fall.
I want to make my own mistakes,
and learn from them all."

Don't you know there's no place
for this stupidity on the rise?
You're not gonna make this choice, babe,
I won't listen to your cries.

"Don't I get to choose myself?"
No you don't, I say without a ruth.
Cause I did birth you after all,
and that's the dominating truth!
