Mother tell me what to do
You have always been my guide
You were the one who taught me to fight
Please don't leave me alone
Mother let me hold your hand
Sing me a bed time song again
Tell me you'll always be my friend
I just wonder why
My mother is gone
(chorus)
Mother, ohh, mother
Who took you away from me
It's not fair the way that you left me
Mother, ohh, mother
Now heaven ain't home for you
Cause down here you know that
I still need you
I need to fill up my faith
Cause I've got no strength to carry on
We had our dreams
they brought us pain
now I can't keep the promise I made
(chorus)
Mother, ohh, mother
Who took you away from me
It's not fair the way that you left me
Mother, ohh, mother
Now heaven ain't home for you
Cause down here you know that
I still need you
solo
They tell me I have to go on
But I feel like both my legs are gone
the journey is tough
my life goes on
how I wish this nightmare was over
(chorus)
Mother, ohh, mother
Who took you away from me
It's not fair the way that you left me
Mother, ohh, mother
Now heaven ain't home for you
Cause down here you know that
I still need you
