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
