about

For my mom who died of ALS.

lyrics

I looked for a way
I wanted to say
But it's like foreign words to me
There will come a day
When I will break my silence
Live up to my conscience
Then mama, I'll turn to you and ask
where have you gone on to, alas
Will I ever hear your voice in this world?

So I turn my head
Cause it could never be said
What stolen dreams I had
I give back to you
There's still some sorrow
Closure I'd borrow
But mama, you knew what I could be
There's so much that only you could see
Will I ever hear your voice in this world?

No, no, no, no, no, please no.
No, no, no, no, no, please no.

Everyone stumbles
But only I'd crumble
Nobody was there to bring me back
Where were you then?
So I cry to the walls
No one answers my calls
But mama, you're always in my heart
When the whole world has fallen apart
Will I ever hear your voice in this world?

No, no, no, no, no, please no.
No, no, no, no, no, please no.

Will I ever hear your voice again?
