The Provider

She's the mother, I'm the provider

I'm the father, she is my child

She is the border, I'm the divider

Remember the time

That we used to run wild

We were free

Like a fish in the sea is

When there's nobody fishin' around

To be free, to be what I wanted to be

Spread my wings and you can't bring me down, yeah

I am the teacher, she's my student

She is the preacher, I'm her convert

I am the seeker, she is the answer

Making it somehow, forgetting the hunt

To be free

Like a fish in the sea is

When there's nobody fishin' around

To be free, to be what I wanted to be

Spread my wings and you can't bring me down

We'd often sit at separate tables

We'd share the same bed every night

Forget the morals and the fables

Sometimes they make you feel

That it's not right, it's not right

She is the summer, I am the winter

I am the poet, she is my soul

Sharing it all because we're always together

Remember the times that I wanted to go

And be free

Like a fish in the sea is

When there's nobody fishin' around

To be free, to be what I wanted to be

Free when there's nobody fishin' around

She is the mother, I am the provider

She is the mother, I am the provider

She is the mother, I am the provider
