I don't know if I could ever have made another choice As tempting and exciting though it was A life in academia, respect of all my peers Was meaningless compared to all I got You made your peace now I'll make mine I'm tired of all these questions wasting all this time A mother knows just what she is And I'll make no apologies, keep no regrets It's easier to leave behind everything you know When what you know is not what you believe They said that life could have no joy, pretended they found peace To me, it looked like boring misery You made your peace now I'll make mine I'm tired of all these questions wasting all this time A mother knows just what she is And I'll make no apologies, keep no regrets
