If She Knew

Missing pieces of our puzzle, missing pieces of our home

Longing for a time when we're not all alone

Mama comes and goes like the tide, leaving us behind

Promises of a house, but it’s hard to believe sometimes

Grandparents love keeps us afloat, they’re the steady shore

While we hold onto hope, asking what we’re waiting for

We see her try, but distance paints a wall

Caught between what’s real and what’s love’s call

We’re children of the stars, waiting for the dawn

Dreaming of a place where we belong

Mama, do you see? We’re hurting, can’t you see?

All we want is you, here with me

Grown a little more, hearts a little tougher now

We’re learning to survive, despite the how and now

Mimi’s arms are warm, she’s a safety net

But it’s not the home we imagined, it’s a different set

Still, we hope, still believe in your love

Hoping someday, you'll be proud of what we’ve become

We’re children of the stars, waiting for the dawn

Dreaming of a place where we belong

Mama, do you see? We’re hurting, can’t you see?

All we want is you, here with me

Maybe someday, you’ll understand

What it means to hold your sons in your hands

We’re waiting, hoping, trusting in your heart

Praying that this distance won’t break us apart

We’ll be alright, we’re tougher than before

But deep down, always wishing for more

Mama, come back, don’t leave us again

We just want a family, a place to mend
