Lyrics and translation
Original
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
