Mother, I've grown to an age,
I have to take my own steps,
To be the man you've madeâ¦
Show me the way.
I've got my faults and they are greatâ¦
You don't want to know.
I'm far from being perfectâ¦
I'm not your baby boyâ¦
â¦you once held.
Mother won't youâ¦
sing your son to sleep once more?
I witness,
Her pulse is lesseningâ¦
A blow I can't ignore.
Mother, please send me far away from this place.
Protect me, don't let me see her fade.
This memory will haunt meâ¦
Her breath is leaving soon⦠I don't know what to do.
What's the tune? Mother won't you,
Sing your son to sleep once more?
I witness, her pulse is lessening,
A blow I can't ignore.
Sleep now, precious, cuz your body's gone but,
Reach out and press your heart against mine.
You showed me how to grow old,
And taught me how to love.
Mother I guess we're all alone.
What's the tune? Mother won't you,
Sing your son to sleep once more?
I witness⦠her pulse is lessening,
A blow I can't ignore.
