When I was younger than tomorrow, when I was wise as yesterday
When I could share my brother's sorrow, even then you went away

When my heart was yours to play with, though yours was never mine
And when I was there to lay with, even then you had no time

Chorus:
Mother can you carry me, clear across the sky
Mother can you carry me, show me how to fly, high

(Solo)

Now I am wise as tomorrow, and I am young as yesterday
Now I have nothing but my sorrow, yesterday, tomorrow and today

chorus
