Mama
mama, I’ve tried to recover, I’ve tried
to discover and I’ve cried
about the others, who’ve died
I don’t bother, I’ve lied
about my brother who’s survived
mama, the knives, they hurt when I’m alive
the hands, so tight… the fear, the fright
mama, my child is gone, mama
the sight, I’ve lost the sight
I’ve lost my child
the hope, the life
the will to survive
it’s gone mama, I’ve died
