Mother, I wanted you here
Mother, breathing then disappeared
Father, holding this fragile bird
Whispers, watching, then not one word
And now I know I'll never see
My life the way I thought it would be
Mother, I pray my beautiful dream
Is where this finds you
I see your hands everywhere
Drawings and ghosts of things prepared
Where do you lay your head tonight
Do you wait for me or do you walk in sunlight
And now I know I'll never see
My life the way I thought it would be
Mother, I pray my beautiful dream
Is where this finds you
Images floating around my bed
Pictures of your face never leaving my head
When did you spirit take its flight
Did I see it, a ray of light
And now I know I'll never see
My life the way I thought it would be
Mother, I pray my beautiful dream
Is where this finds you
And now I know I'll never see
My life the way I thought it would be
Mother, I pray my beautiful dream
Is where this finds you
