[Verse 2] Mother, will you talk to me? I don't know the tongue in which you dream Somewhere in the middle, there's a pidgin that we speak But is it enough? Don't give up Mother, pray for me [Intro] x2 [Verse 3] Mother, are you near to me? We never let our colors bleed But 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 [Intro] x2 [Verse 4] 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 [Intro] x2 [Verse 5] 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 [Bridge]

[Intro] x2 [Verse 6 - Final] 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 don't know what to say anyway Mother, pray for me
