Maya Hershey - Sweet Mother

Oh Mother, lay your hand on me one last time,
For you are my pain, my happiness, and my rhyme,
You are a part of me, and I'm a part of you,
Your smile is my gift and you tear is mine,
Through all those years, you have cared me,
In your peaceful lap and arms,
You lend me a hand for us to be.....
Bravely Together
Oh mother, sing me this last lullaby,
and put me to sleep with your sweetness,
You are the great magic that gets me by,
Oh, how beautiful it is to fill you with happiness.
And so I promise, I'll always look up for you,
So can you hold me close, can you hold me near?
Will you listen, listen to my words of fear?
And I promise, I won't let you down,
So can you fill me up with the dreams?
Will you please..... Stay near me....
