Mother

(Verse 1)

Mother...

Are you looking down on me?

You taught me how to live, I see;

And how to laugh and sing.

You gave me an appreciation for

The joy and hardships life brings.

Mother...

Now you're no longer here.

I missed the opportunity, I fear,

To tell you that I love you and

The things you needed to hear.

(Chorus)

Can you hear me where you are?

I pray that... it's above

Even though we drifted far

I've never... lost my... love

For you, my mother dearest

Memories still linger nearest

When I stop and sit in silence,

You're still present.

(Verse 2)

Mother...

Why'd we have to drift apart?

You know I loved you from the start

But there's things I can't believe.

I'm having trouble to receive

Like how you broke my loving sister's heart.

Mother...

I should've raised the issues then.

But I feared you'd either pretend

It never happened, or that you'd just

Write me off to the end.

(Bridge)

To see you in your final state

An image I can never erase

What'd I'd do if I could rewrite all to

What I wish it would... have... been...

(Chorus)
