	Story Behind the Song The lyrics in this tune are about the awe I am in about the power of the forces & "being" of mother nature. Written in my bedroom on anacousticas usual. Once I had the concept it pretty much wrote itself. Took about an hour. The recording was live, & was nailed in 2 takes. Lyrics Asking Mother words & music by Richard Michielli copyright 1998 The wind was cruel & the air was cold The sun grew timid & the moon was bold The stars did shine & the owl did ask the woman whose whim would determine our past The smoke & wind & the fire & snow The air & the clouds & the ground below The grass & trees & the animals sway to the beat of the mother & her drum did say I am unpredictable........I am unexplainable I am so irrational..........Yet as a whole quite natural On borrowed breath I have questioned your name With weaving words serpentining through rain we slip through the cracks in the crust on the earth we stand Like my own soul used to be dust once again will be sand Ooh how did you get so strong, how did you get so wise How did you grow so old Ooh how did you get so strong, how did you grow so old Your storys only half told
