From the recording With a little help from my friends
This song was inspired by her 'Gates sisters' - a women's group she belonged to.
Lyrics
Sometimes change feels like a tree
in autumn
when you lose what you hold dear.
You go dormant in the darkness
and the cold through the winter
Until the spring appears
The Mother knows
the name of the game
Nothing ever stays the same
And life roars on
Sometimes change feels like a soaring mountain standing in front of you
But somehow you take one step at a time to the summit
To an amazing view
The Mother knows
the name of the game
Nothing ever stays the same
And life roars on
It’s never too late
The earth is ancient
Look at her create!
Sometimes change feels like a
waterfall
You’re quietly keeping pace
Then suddenly you’re carried
by a powerful current
Into a whole new place
The Mother knows
the name of the game
Nothing ever stays the same
And life roars on
