Mother (Song)

“**Mother**” is the last song in the anime *Carole & Tuesday*, featured on *episode 24: A Change is Gonna Come*. It was produced by Ertegun and performed by  Carole & Tuesday (Vo. Celeina Ann & Nai Br.XX), Angela (Vo. Alisa), Crystal (Vo. Lauren Dyson), Pyotr (Vo. J R Price), GGK (Vo. Madison McFerrin), Flora (Vo. Harlœ), Desmond (Vo. Marker Starling) and Lonesome Clarence (Vo. Mocky) in the Mars Immigration Memorial Hall, where Carole & Tuesday first gathered an audience.

The track has a theme of freedom, made to push back against the political decisions happening on Mars. Their performance was later known as “The Miraculous 7 Minutes”, a moment built since the first episode.

Carole & Tuesday spoke about the song’s concept in episode 23: Don’t Stop Believin':

T: And even though we were born and raised in a different way, everyone was born because of a mother. Sometimes, she’ll embrace us softly. Sometimes, she’ll confine us.
C: All of that summons up what a “mother” is.
T: We were all born because of a mother.
C: I’m sure we were all born free.

**Voices From Mars 「Mother」 歌詞**

[Verse 1: Carole; *Tuesday*; **both**]

Sometimes we are all afraid to fly

Freedom is a rocket in the sky

*Take a leap of faith*
'Cause there's no reason not to try
Let the stars be your guide

**Let the love be your life**

[Pre-Chorus: Angela; *Crystal*]

Take your soul

And let it shine

Across the universe

Let the stars align

*When you're almost out of fight*
Let your fire burn

Let your voice be heard

Singing

[Chorus: Everyone; *Angela*]

Mother, Mother, Mother

Won't you free me from my chains?

Mother, Mother, Mother

Won't you come show me the way?

Mother, Mother, Mother

Won't you free me from my chains?

Mother, Mother, Mother

Won't you come show me the way?

*Mother, Mother, Mother*
Won't you come show me the way?

[Verse 2: Pyotr; *GGK*; **Lonesome Clarence**]

It's easier to run than stand and fight

Freedom is the strength to make you right

*Hope is all we have*
But it's all worth the sacrifice
**A million voices are strong**
But together we are one

[Pre-Chorus: Flora; *Desmond*]

Take your soul

And let it shine

Across the universe

Let the stars align

*When you're almost out of fight*
Let your fire burn

Let your voice be heard

Singing

[Chorus: Everyone; *Tuesday*]

Mother, Mother, Mother

Won't you free me from my chains?

Mother, Mother, Mother

Won't you come show me the way?

Mother, Mother, Mother

Won't you free me from my chains?

Mother, mother, mother

Won't you come show me the way?

*Mother, Mother, Mother*
Won't you come show me the way?

[Bridge: Crystal; *Flora*]

Together we can change the world

Together we're the missing piece

*Mother, come and heal this Earth*
Mother, you're the love we need

[Pre-Chorus: Carole; *Tuesday*]

Take your soul

And let it shine

Across the universe

Let the stars align

*When you're almost out of fight*
Let your fire burn

Let your voice be heard

Singing, oh-oh

[Chorus: Everyone]

Mother, Mother, Mother

Won't you free me from my chains?

Mother, Mother, Mother

Won't you come show me the way?

Mother, Mother, Mother

Won't you free me from my chains? (Hey, hey)

Mother, Mother, Mother

Won't you come show me the way?

Mother, Mother, Mother

Won't you free me from my chains?

Mother, Mother, Mother

Won't you come show me the way?

Mother, Mother, Mother

Won't you free me from my chains?

Mother, Mother, Mother

Won't you come show me the way?

[Post-Chorus: Angela; *Flora*; **Tuesday**]

Won't you, won't you free me, mother?

*Show me the way*

Mother, Mother, Mother, Mother

**Mother**

[Outro: Everyone]

Mother, Mother, Mother
