When my mother was away br She left me without saying goodbye br She left me to great beyond br In this lonely wicked world br How would I survive br The demand of mother earth that asked of much from none br Oh! Mother, my dream of better tomorrow br My care not in worry br For always she is there br To meet the demand of mother nature br Not to worry her word of consolation always br Her remark for the demand of mother earth. br I lost my mood, my care and my future br I lost all a sweet mother could offer her child br My mother left memory of yesterday for my future br Oh! Mother, a paradise lost never to regain.
