Keep on Knocking
Rescuing a Mother's Happiness
Lyrics
She wrote me a letter
She communicated with me in writing.
In the early days of December
During the early days of December.
Saying she wasn' t happy
Expressing dissatisfaction, she wasn't happy.
Where she was
Expressing discontent with her current situation.
Oh that' s the bad news yeah
Referring to the unfortunate information as "bad news."
That is why today I' m here
Presenting the reason for the current situation.
To take her away from you
Expressing the intent to take her away from the current situation.
Everytime you treat her badly
Addressing mistreatment and its impact on memories.
It brings back memories and
Recalling past experiences; emphasizing avoidance.
We don' t want
Expressing the collective desire not to witness her suffering.
To see her go through
Highlighting the wish to protect her from hurt again.
Hurt again so!!!
Stressing the importance of preventing emotional pain.
Chorus:
< strong > Chorus:
Keep on knocking but you
Repeating attempts to enter but being denied.
Can' t come in now
She' s my mother you know
Identifying the person as the speaker's mother.
If she was a bad mother
Contrasting with negativity; asserting her maternal qualities.
She would have thrown us away
Reflecting on her commitment despite challenges.
Long time ago
Asserting her enduring love despite difficult times.
Even when things got bad
Highlighting her resilience during adversity.
She still held onto us all the way
Emphasizing her loyalty during tough times.
When she cries we cry too
Expressing the emotional connection with the mother's tears.
When she smiles we smile too
Emphasizing shared emotions, happiness, and sadness.
We were happy all this time
Recalling a period of happiness before an unwanted influence.
Until you came along
Pointing out the negative impact of an external presence.
Everytime you treat her badly
Reiterating the consequences of mistreatment.
It brings back memories and
Repeating the association between mistreatment and memories.
We don' t want to see her
Reiterating the collective desire to prevent her suffering.
Go through hurt again
Stressing the avoidance of witnessing her pain again.
Chorus till fade
< strong > Chorus till fade
