Mom, what does the cross say
Where is your child that brought the light
Where is the hope that you kept
Where is the innocence that eases your soul
On that cross your name remembers what could have been
Your flight ended because your being went out
Because we closed our eyes and we didn't want to see
Your body scarred, your nights without nightfall
Because we saw you laugh and didn't hear your tears
We ignored your voice in this restless life
Wake up, world wake up, people wake up
Children suffer, die, and society doesn't care
And I remember you and the years pass me by
And I remember you and the years pass me by
And I remember you and the years pass me by
And your pain still follows me
My prayer for the forgotten children
Let's cry for their dreams, embraced
How to tell them that I love them so much
And that their lives of pain and weeping haven't been in vain
If I failed you, forgive me
For your pain, forgive me
That I will carry in my heart
Mom, where was I when everything happened
Your crying and pain, God closed His eyes
Man threw you the voice of paradise
Soulless humanity drove you away from paradise
Exile and oblivion snatch what God gave you
The consequence has been a world that lives empty
Because your innocence has left this world
In that world that will bloom
If we end its life it goes after our being
Let's change this, that it doesn't happen again
Boys and girls can grow up without fear
And I remember you and the years pass me by
And I remember you and the years pass me by
And I remember you and the years pass me by
And your pain still follows me
My prayer for the forgotten children
Let's cry for their lives, embraced
How to tell them that I love them so much
And that their lives of pain and weeping haven't been in vain
My prayer for the forgotten children
Let's cry for their dreams, embraced
How to tell them that I love them so much
And that their lives of pain and weeping haven't been in vain
If I failed you forgive me
For your pain, forgive me
That I will carry in my heart
