Savoretti, Jack - Mother Lyrics
They killed a man for doing wrong today
When all he ever did in life was look the other way
And with his verdict someone heard him pray
The crowd gathered around to see the look on his face
He cried, "Mother," as the people stood and stared
He cried, "Mother," and no one seemed to care
Barely 25 years to his name
Only the good die young
It's too hard to say
With a wife and child living back at home
Far from here where he dies all alone
Will they ever know, the last words he spoke
Well he cried, "Mother"
It sounded like a prayer
They killed a man for doing wrong today
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm

La migliore di Jack 🧡
Blown away!
Keep Doing What You're Doing (Y) It's great...Just awesome!!!God bless you and your family ღ❣❀ヅ❤♫✾✿❃❤❤❤
Love this ..hauntingly beautiful...
"He cried ...'Mother '...no one seems to care...He cried 'Mother '......sounded like a pray"...speaks our mind Savoretti...Fantastic verses out of his soul.....
Anyone knows the true meaning of this song ? I love it but cant tell much from the lyrics, its confusing...
Sounds like a soldier dying while screaming "Mother." I've only heard 2 of his songs (both AMAZING, the other is Soldier's Eyes from Days Gone and I guess it's in Sons of Anarchy, too) but they are a bit on the.... melancholy side. Hauntingly beautiful is what I'd call it.
OR it's an innocent being killed by foreign troops and they stand around and watch while he screams out in a foreign language.
@S Clarke 😢😭

this one hurts... thinking of our young at war
I've been trying to find this since I saw him sing this live after solder's eyes, the most beautiful, painful song i've ever heard
sad, deeply sad story- beautiful sound.
wow i just stumbled on Jack Savortti . What an amazing find . i have went and bought his 3 cds .
+Gordon w i stumbled across him from sons of anarchy when i heard soldiers eyes and now i have a playlist of like 15 songs just because of how good his songs are
so deep, so simple, so good !
reminds me of ray lamontagne...so beautiful :)
I was thinking that, too.
It sounds like empty from Ray Lamontagne, great songs both!
No problem :)
However, thank you if I notice something to suggest I'll let you know.. But thanks again !

Oh God, I have tears in my eyes! This song is a piece of art... And the lyrics are so deep, they reached my heart...

I lovvee this song!!! and the lyrics are sooo sad and beautiful
i actually found a song that broke me ...
I love this song :D
@SkiLxD ?!?! noo! what the hell! i just asked you what they actually meant JEEZ!
@youarestupidxxx Are you trying to be sarcastic or something? Because you are so far from being able to do it. :)
@SkiLxD what do the lyrics mean?
thanks mr savoretti for reminding us: mothers. matter. big time. mothers have a holy duty to their children, a promise made. dont ever break a holy promise. you were entrusted with this being- love love love. it is your mandate. and btw, nannies/moneymaterial /things do not a loving mother make.
One of the best Jack Savoretti's Song. <3
A so deep meaning... so attarcting song <3
Powerful song. Tears OMG. As I wrote to my 90 Year Old precious beautiful mother; I thought of all she went through after my daddy died 1947 in an iron long-of polio when I was 3. She raised 4 children for 25 years alone; then at 50 she was given an angel/ a man; he treats her like his Queen; He is 94. What love Mommy showed us. Yes in 1975 when I about died; I called for my mommy,* In 2007 I called my partners mommy, "Please come to see your son one last time--He NEEDS his mommy." Healing.;)<3
I love his voice, magic *.*
Totally amazing.. Mr has it all !
Where I can find tabs to this song?
wow, im here in china, its 40+ so hot, but this song made me feel cold.
such a great song, thank you for the upload
mighty6 UK, (now in china)
Jack Savoretti is a great musician. I love his music. Thanks for the share.
Peace!
This song came from the heart, like most of his songs. He helps to show us the truth. In this song, they are prejudice because he thinks differently than them. If only our world could be pure.
this artist is amazing !! again a nice song!!
Amazing. The lyrics are beautiful.
