Ten minutes
It only takes ten minutes
Mom always says
Ten minutes to make your bed
Pick up your dirty clothes
It's the least you can do
Cleaning your room
After all I've done for you
I made my bed, five minutes
Tidied my desk, ten minutes
Swept the floors, twenty minutes
Folded my clothes, thirty minutes
It's the least I can do
Cleaning my room
After all she's done for me
Fourty minutes, I dusted the shelves
The dust will return in a few days
No one to dust again
But it's the least I can do
After all she'll go through
An hour passed
The room was spotless
Except for a folded note
That rested on the bed
I hope she'll be happy
Even just for a moment
At the sight of a neat room
At least I can do
After all, I'm leaving soon
An hour more
I'm already gone
Forgive me
Mom
It's the least you can do
After all I've been through
I'm sorry.
