I lived by myself before I became your mother
I used to pretend to be tough enough to do hard work, wearing high-heeled shoes and painting my nails
Now I cut my nails because I play with my child
I wear clothes that are easy to move in because I work part‐time
because I am your mother
I wake up at 5:00 am feeling sleepy because I am your mother
I give my favorite food that I should eat to you because I am your mother
I remember train's names because I am your mother
I always take care of you more than myself because I am your mother
I was thin before I became your mother
I always thought about myself, doing my favorite things and buying my favorite goods
Now I always buy clothes and food for my child
I cook sweet curry and watch TV programs for children with my child
Because I am your mother
Though I am not good at cooking, I work hard to cook, because I am your mother
I can scold you for your sake because I am your mother
I do my best to be a good mother because I am your mother
I always take care of you more than myself
If I went back to the time before I became your mother, I would stay out late at night
I don't do that now because I am your mother
I am glad to have become your mother even if I can't do that
I am glad to have become your mother because I can see you
This is the song "Because I am your mother". What do you think about these lyrics?

Hello, HudeL. Thank you for your comment. Really? Mothers around the world may have similar experiences.
Hi, Roman. Thank you for your comment. Your opinion is close to the opinion of some mothers who resent these lyrics. Rose said "Women give up voluntarily parts of freedom when they become a mother." However I think mothers may get something more precious than freedom they lost.
