Mother's Voice

Sometimes she needs
Her mother’s voice
Sometimes she seems
To be completely lost
Sometimes she prays
Sometimes she begs
Joining her hands
Sometimes she calls the gods
Sometimes she dreams
Sometimes she loves
Like she’d give
More than she’s got
Sometimes she lays
Just like she was gone
And I hear her say
«Tell me, what have I done ?»
Sometimes she speaks
A language I’d learned
Sometimes I feel
How hard she’s been hurt
Sometimes she dreams
Sometimes she loves
Like she’d give
More than she’s got
Sometimes she needs
Her mother’s voice
Well, sometimes she seems
To be completely lost
