Mother, Pray For Me

Mother say a prayer for me

I can never know what you’ve seen

I don’t have what you have

I don’t seek what you seek

But I’d never take it away

Mother pray for me

Mother will you talk to me?

I don’t know the tongue in which

you dream

Somewhere in the middle is a

pidgin that we speak

But is it enough? Don’t give up

Mother pray for me

Mother are you near to me?

We never let our colours bleed

I would like to know you and I want you to know me

Do we still have time, can we try?

Mother pray for me.

Mother are you all at sea?

Battered by the waves of grief

Are you lost without her?

Do you hope that we

could meet?

If I could be saved one day

Mother pray for me

Mother don’t cry for me

I have done enough injury

I wanted to hurt you for the hurt you made in me

And I know that I’m why you cried

Mother pray for me

I called off the search

For evidence of an after

Decided I’m fine without

Forever is this right now

But one day if you arrive

Just send me a

small sign

I don’t need the proof of place

Just tell me you got there safe

Mother are you there? It’s me

I know I didn’t call last week

The longer that I hold off, the heavier it seems

And I never know what to say anyway

Mother pray

for me
