To mother lyrics

Twenty years of my life, just like a star in the night

She lit my way and watched me as I lay

When the tears were abound,

She would turn me back around

Oh Mama can't you see, you mean everything to me

Stormy times when I fell down

She'd lift me from the ground

Put the fire back inside o' me

She never let me down

The days we cried, the days we laughed

Even the days we fought

The times we wiled away

Hours on our deepest thoughts

Mama, our time is always on my mind

The nights when shadows chased me around my room

You laid beside me, pulled me from my gloom

Mama, can you hear, whispers in the air?

Arigato

Shattered pieces on the ground

Fallen without any sound

Yet you still could hear them fall

The shattered mirror ball

Helping re-build again

Towering so tall again

I can see my dreams

And touch the stars

Short words and my insolence

Sorry if I wore you down

Now I see all you gave me

I will never let you down

The days we cried, the days we laughed

Even the days we fought

The times we wiled away

Hours on our deepest thoughts

Mama, please don't cry, you helped me to fly

The nights when shadows chased me around my room

You laid beside me, pulled me from my gloom

Mama, our dream lives on in me

Forever

The torch you gave to me

I hold for all to see

It helps me though bad weather

The warmth is comforting

I know you're here

You're up above

The sky shimmers with love

My heart lies open

To you my shining star

The days we cried, the days we laughed

Even the days we fought

The times we wiled away

Hours on our deepest thoughts

Mama, please don't cry, you helped me to fly

The nights when shadows chased me around my room

You laid beside me, pulled me from my gloom

Mama, can you hear whispers in the air?

Arigato
