Mother

Mother, oh mother of mine
Brave woman, please don’t you start to cry
I cross oceans, just to see you smile

Mother, oh mother of mine
Beautiful woman, you who gave start to my life
I walk among evil men, just to see your eyes

Mother, oh mother of mine
Kind woman, who took care of me when I was a child
Taught me to be strong, gentle and kind
It is you my mother, that shall never leave my mind
You are the queen of this world, an angel in disguise

Mother, oh mother of mine
Gentle woman, please don’t you start to cry
This world was so cruel to you and I
So I run just to see you smile
I run, I run with all my will and all my might
I run…I run because I’m tired
Tired of their wars, tired of liars

Mother, oh mother of mine
Don’t you start to cry, as long as you breathe, I shall be fine
Mother, oh mother of mine
I love you with all my soul and mind…

Mother, oh mother of mine
Take my eyes in a world that is blind
I can not stand to see you cry, nor can I see my land on fire
My people suffer, mother
my chest is so dire
I need to run, I need to run from an endless desire
to give my life and soul for my own and into the darkness retire
I only fell in love once mother, and it was then when my heart expired
When the rivers flowing from my eyes turned dry

Mother, oh mother of mine…
I wish to find peace in your arms
Where you could shelter me from harm
Where my soul and chest would be calm
Where I could breathe, where I could only breathe mom

Mother, of mother of mine
