Twenty years of my life, just like a star in the night
|
She lit my way and watched me as I lay
|
When the tears were abound,
|
She would turn me back around
|
Oh Mama can't you see, you mean everything to me
|
|
Stormy times when I fell down
|
She'd lift me from the ground
|
Put the fire back inside o' me
|
She never let me down
|
|
The days we cried, the days we laughed
|
Even the days we fought
|
The times we wiled away
|
Hours on our deepest thoughts
|
|
Mama, our time is always on my mind
|
The nights when shadows chased me around my room
|
You laid beside me, pulled me from my gloom
|
Mama, can you hear, whispers in the air?
|
Arigato
|
|
Shattered pieces on the ground
|
Fallen without any sound
|
Yet you still could hear them fall
|
The shattered mirror ball
|
|
Helping re-build again
|
Towering so tall again
|
I can see my dreams
|
And touch the stars
|
|
Short words and my insolence
|
Sorry if I wore you down
|
Now I see all you gave me
|
I will never let you down
|
|
The days we cried, the days we laughed
|
Even the days we fought
|
The times we wiled away
|
Hours on our deepest thoughts
|
|
Mama, please don't cry, you helped me to fly
|
The nights when shadows chased me around my room
|
You laid beside me, pulled me from my gloom
|
Mama, our dream lives on in me
|
Forever
|
|
The torch you gave to me
|
I hold for all to see
|
It helps me though bad weather
|
The warmth is comforting
|
I know you're here
|
You're up above
|
The sky shimmers with love
|
My heart lies open
|
To you my shining star
|
|
The days we cried, the days we laughed
|
Even the days we fought
|
The times we wiled away
|
Hours on our deepest thoughts
|
|
Mama, please don't cry, you helped me to fly
|
The nights when shadows chased me around my room
|
You laid beside me, pulled me from my gloom
|
Mama, can you hear whispers in the air?
|
