Mother, listen to my heart.
Mother, listen to my heart,
Just as one beat ends, another starts.
You can hear no matter where you are
Sister, hide our love away
From the evil we both know.

[Chorus]
It can see us through these dark days,
Though they seem to darken as I go.
Our love will see us through these dark, dark days
Sister,
'Til it lights the way back home.
Sister, hide our love away.

It can turn the whole world upside down
Shake it 'til the sky falls to the ground.

We don't have to reap the fear they sow,
Friends, as long as we hide our love away,
In the good they'll never know.

[Chorus]

It can see us through these dark days,
Though they seem to darken as I go.
Our love will see us through these dark, dark days
Sister,
'Til it lights the way back home.
Sister, hide our love away.
Mother, listen to my heart,
Just as one beats ends, another starts.
You can hear no matter where you are.
