A house is not a home when it's empty

a mother understands sacrifice

Her dreams are someone else's while she's praying, endlessly

people leave a house, love never do

When friends desert us and trouble thickens

by my mother my story begins

No love is as strong as for her children

they are anchoring her to this life

The time my words became a sharpened, cutting and slicing knife

you kept on clinging to me while you we're bleeding

So I found comfort in you warm and embracing arms

your eyes were smiling through the tears

When friends desert us and trouble thickens

by my mother my story begins

No love is as strong as for her children

they are anchoring her to this life

To the world you are a mother

to me you are the world

To the world you are a mother

You are my world

When friends desert us and trouble thickens

by my mother my story begins

No love is as strong as for her children

they are anchoring her to this life
