[Chorus: Dianne Brooks]

Balance is my thing

The sun, the snow, wind, and rain – must come

Balance is my thing

The sun, the snow, wind, and rain – must come

[Verse 1: Bootsy Collins]

Mother, 

I can see it, I can hear it, 

But I don't know where we're coming from

Mother, 

Are you sure this is the time in which we belong?

Hey Mother, 

Don't be angry, don't be jealous, 

And don't forget who is to blame

Mother, 

It was you, it was not me who created this conflictin' brain

[Interlude]

[Chorus: Dianne Brooks]

Balance is my thing

The sun, the snow, wind, and rain – must come

[Verse 2: Bootsy Collins]

Hey Mother, 

I can feel it, I can taste it, 

I can smell what it's all about

Hey Mother, 

I know it's in me, all around me, 

But my instinct won't let it out

Hey Mother, 

Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm high, 

Sometimes I am really down

Hey Mother, 

What is your plan, what is your game?

Well, what secret have you found?

[Break]

[Chorus: Dianne Brooks]

Balance is my thing

The sun, the snow, wind, and rain – must come

[Verse 3: Bootsy Collins]

Hey Mother, 

What do you mean "Don't take it personal

When given all you can abide"?

Hey Mother, 

Am I to sit here waiting, while my brother, little brother, dies?

Yes, Mother!

I can see us, I can hear him

But I don't know where we're coming from

And, Mother

Are you sure this is the time where we belong?
