The Last Emperor - Single Mother lyrics

This is a single story, for every single one On a single planet, under a single sun In a single solar system some think it's odd Entire galaxy created by a single god With a single thought, and a single plan Single earth fashioned by a single hand 7 continents separated from a single land Many nations are created from a single man A single nation taken to a single place Where they simply aren't familiar with a single face Yet this is not the story of a single struggle A single symbolism, nor a single couple A young couple, who raise a single seed Sworn protectors of her every single need Forming a single balance, under a single order From a single act of love they have a single daughter Along her way she put her faith in a single lover And from a single lie she became a single mother Of a single son, born to a single girl Single home alone, in a single world Though her kids felt her single pain With a single kiss she makes everything okay I wrote this record in a single way So the radio will play it every single day I dedicate this to every single mother Just to let you know that were thinking of you If you're a single mother too... Hey lady, this ones for you Dedicated to every single mother Just to let you know that were thinking of you If you're a single mother too... Hey lady, this ones for you You were my first teacher, my first friend Gave me my first vision, and my first glimpse Of a bigger world, given me my first look Tuck me in my bed, and read my first book And as I fell asleep, for the first time Little did I know you were showing me my first rhyme I want to thank you for showing me How to be a man and turn my pain into poetry Break my silence, express myself vocally How to show the world what was once done locally First one to take me on my quest for learning First one to help me through life's stressful journey And every single step, I'm coming with ya Cause I belong to a strong single mother figure You were the first one to tell me I was something bigger I was an Emperor not just another n******g First one to show me how I might be strong The days seemed shorter and the night seemed long Maybe that's the reason that I write these songs To set the record straight and try to right these wrongs This is the saga of a single mother That's been provided by a single brother I had to write it in a single way So the radio will play it every single day I dedicate this to every single mother Just to let you know that were thinking of you If you're a single mother too... Hey lady, this ones for you Another lonely day, another lonely night I dedicate this to y'all yeah its only right Another untold truth is now brought to light Another lesson is learned cause you taught me right When I lost my way and the road got lonely Only you...you were the one who showed me Only you...you were the one to hold me Sometimes I feel like you're the only one who knows me And if you gotta stay single, hey You should know this, I wrote this in a single way The only thing I can do is pray That the radio will play it every single day I dedicate this to every single mother Just to let you know that were thinking of you If you're a single mother too... Hey lady, this ones for you Dedicated to every single mother Just to let you know that were thinking of you If you're a single mother too... Hey lady, this ones for you
