Hayley Westenra Mama He Lyrics

Twenty years of my life, just like a star in the night She lit my way and watched me as I lay When the tears were abound, She would turn me back around Oh Mama can't you see, you mean everything to me

Stormy times when I fell down She'd lift me from the ground Put the fire back inside o' me She never let me down

The days we cried, the days we laughed Even the days we fought The times we wiled away Hours on our deepest thoughts

Mama, our time is always on my mind The nights when shadows chased me around my room You laid beside me, pulled me from my gloom Mama, can you hear, whispers in the air? Arigato

Shattered pieces on the ground Fallen without any sound Yet you still could hear them fall The shattered mirror ball

Helping re-build again Towering so tall again I can see my dreams And touch the stars

Short words and my insolence Sorry if I wore you down Now I see all you gave me I will never let you down
The days we cried, the days we laughed Even the days we fought The times we wiled away Hours on our deepest thoughts

Mama, please don't cry, you helped me to fly The nights when shadows chased me around my room You laid beside me, pulled me from my gloom Mama, our dream lives on in me Forever

The torch you gave to me I hold for all to see It helps me though bad weather The warmth is comforting I know you're here You're up above The sky shimmers with love My heart lies open To you my shining star

The days we cried, the days we laughed Even the days we fought The times we wiled away Hours on our deepest thoughts

Mama, please don't cry, you helped me to fly The nights when shadows chased me around my room You laid beside me, pulled me from my gloom Mama, can you hear whispers in the air? Arigato Arigato
