Mother
I know I say I love you much less than you deserve
And nowadays you give me less comfort than you want
But look, I'm going to pass by your house
Look at the photos you keep in the living room
Bring you a sunflower to put in the entrance vase
To make up for my empty room
Empty

Mother
I know there's no trip where
You don't ask God for my safe arrival
Mother
I will live beyond the shore
Reply to your message today
I'm far away
And even far away
I'm under your wing

Mother
Just close my eyes to feel you're here with me
I'm still the same, the kid trying to be more grown-up
And your grandson is a pirate like I used to be
And when I take him to school, I remember when you used to leave me
You are the hand, the support, the wind, and the rain on my face
And the songs will never take away the longing
For you

Mother
I know there's no trip where
You don't ask God for my safe arrival
Mother
I will live beyond the shore
Reply to your message today
I'm far away
And even far away
For every Hail Mary
For every day and every sleepless night
For teaching me that love is where I find answers to life
I wasn't always what you wanted, I know
Mother
