Son Little - 'O Mother'

"O Mother" by Son Little

Lyrics

why do they treat me like i’m not a man?
I wonder, does anybody know just who i am?

Can I
Love the world exactly as it is
or do i have to split?

Is there anybody rooting for the kid?

O Mother
is this not the way you want me to behave?
I won’t just set here and let them treat me like a slave

Can i love the world and hate how it makes me feel
cuz i don’t wanna kneel
is there anyone who’s got my back for real?

O Mother I do not think i live here anymore
I sometimes wonder, is it wrong
if i do not want to live at all?

can i love the world enough to give a spin
or am i giving in?

Or do we burn the old one down and start again?

If you read these comments many many years later, I admire your talent, and really think it's criminal that more people haven't been exposed to your work. Thank you for covering my favorite song, in life, since I was a toddler, "What Child is This". It's beautiful so I'm glad I have one more beautiful thing to add to my life. 🙇🏽

I found his song river by accident and I can not get enough. I have been showing his music to everyone I know and hope to see him live one day!

I rarely ever comment it seems, but I heard the review of Son on NPR yesterday, and as soon as I could get to the computer, I looked him up and man, I am amazed. This is the most real stuff I have heard in a long time. And he knocks it out of the park with every song!
