Mother

Mother why am i afraid, why do i have tears in my eyes
I can feel that i am getting cold, mother why don’t we go home
Mother i see the brake of dawn, don’t you think daddy worry now
I forget to say goodbye, mother have you seen the angles fly.
Shine my dear child, shine please do not cry
Soon we will be on our way, mother will carry you home

Mother, sing to me your song, like you did when i was born
In your song i will always be alive, in your heart i will always be your child
Mother did you see that light, but now everything so dark
Here is nothing here is no more, mother where did you go.
Shine my dear child, shine please do not cry
Soon we will be on our way, mother will carry you home

Goodbye to you who are no more, autumn flowers dies and white snow falls
The sun will rise for you every night; your memories remain in our hearts.
And you will shine like the sun and you hold on you will return
Someday you will walk the earth, mother is here for you
And you will shine like the sun and you hold on you will return
Someday you will walk the earth, mother is here for you
