Before it’s too late

Verse 1]

He puts his brother to bed again

Tells him stories through the cold and the rain

Mama’s lost in another world

Eyes all cloudy, hair unfurled

Dinner’s just a wish they make

While she drifts off wide awake

Mama, can’t you see us?

We’re slipping day by day

Two little hearts just wondering

Why you always fade away

We miss your laugh, we miss your light

And the way you used to pray

Please come back, before it’s too late

The pictures tell a different tale

Of sunny days and a fairytale

Now the smiles don’t feel the same

She barely even says their names

They don’t ask for much at all

Just for her to hear them call

Mama, can’t you see us?

We’re slipping day by day

Two little hearts just wondering

Why you always fade away

We miss your laugh, we miss your light

And the way you used to pray

Please come back, before it’s too late

Another night, another tear

Another hour lost to fear

But they still believe in you

They still see the good shine through

They’re holding on to yesterday

Hoping you will find your way

She stares into a quiet room

Where childhood fades too fast, too soon

But in the still, she hears their voice

And realizes she still has a choice

Whispers through the morning haze—

“I’m coming back, I’ll find a way”

Mama, now you see us

We’ve been here all along

Still dreaming of your laughter

Still singing our old songs

We miss your heart, we miss your smile

You’re more than all this weight

Come back to us…

Before it’s too late
