Gfiy

My mother cradles me in her arms
As she sings a lullaby
The west wind blows
But its gentle whispers don't last

My dear, you're like a newborn babe
Oh mother, I beg you, don't leave me
You cradle me in your arms
And scold me while hugging me close
You call me your little bird
But everyone else treats me like an outcast
You rejoice whenever I come home
And you pray for me in the street
My mother cradles me in her arms
And when I'm asleep, she watches over me
The clouds gather in the sky
And the rain sweeps over the land

My mother, you're so small
But your heart is so big
You always say, "My son"
And you kiss me when I'm asleep

You tell me stories of the sun
And how the rain will come to nourish the earth
You tell me to always look up
And never to let my dreams die
