How much of my mother Has my mother left in me How much of my love Will be insane to some degree And what about this feeling That I'm never good enough Will it wash out in the water Or is it always in the blood How much of my father Am I destined to become Will I dim the lights inside me Just to satisfy someone Will I let this woman kill me Or do away with jealous love Will it wash out in the water Or is it always in the blood I can feel the love I want I can feel the love I need But it's never gonna come the way I am Could I change it if I wanted? Can I rise above the flood Will it wash out in the water Or is it always in the blood How much like my brothers Do my brothers wanna be Does a broken home Become another broken family Or will we be there for each other Like nobody ever could Will it wash out in the water Or is it always in the blood I can feel the love I want I can feel the love I need But it's never gonna come the way I am Could I change it if I wanted Can I rise above the flood Will it wash out in the water Or is it always in the blood I can feel the love I want I can feel the love I need But it's never gonna come the way I am Could I change it if I wanted Can I rise above the flood Will it wash out in the water Or is it always in the blood
