What does Mama Who Bore Me from Spring Awakening mean?
the full lyrics are Mama who bore me Mama who gave me No way to handle things Who made me so bad Mama, the weeping Mama, the angels No sleep in Heaven, or Bethlehem Some pray that one day Christ will come a’-callin’ They light a candle And hope that it glows And some just lie there Crying for him to come and find them But when he comes they don’t know how to go Mama who bore me Mama who gave me No way to handle things Who made me so sad Mama, the weeping Mama, the angels No sleep in Heaven, or Bethlehem its Wendla saying she want to know more about life. she feels to sheltered and want her mom to tell her the facts of life. it is ironic because if her mom did, wendla probably woudn’t have gotten pregnant and died.
