[Intro]
Missing pieces of our puzzle, missing pieces of our home
Longing for a time when we're not all alone
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
We see her try, but distance paints a wall
Caught between what’s real and what’s love’s call
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Still, we hope, still believe in your love
Hoping someday, you'll be proud of what we’ve become
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
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
