lyrics

Faces in pictures, on the wall
Mirror breaks, makes you tall
An image of perfection, the decor needs correction
Search for the unmasked, now from the past
Gandhi’s my stride, on hunger strike
Only three years old, I feel so old

Oh mother, please
I’m alive but barely

Just eleven years old, sent far from home
Sat on a cloud, landed on the ground
The people were strange, there it didn’t rain
Tried to be strong, there I did not belong
Oh mother, tell my brother
I said hello, tell him
I miss him so, I miss him so

Oh mother, please
I’m alive but barely

Friends on the rooftop, tales were non-stop
Of homes like prisons, said now I was with them
Told them I went long ago, told them how to say no
Oh mother I did you proud, truth cleans out the doubt
Daughters walk out of cages, on rooftops we paraded
When she took my hand, I looked around
For a place to land, for a place to land, for a place to land

Oh mother, please
Her love for me saved me
