Mami

I peek down the hall without making a sound when I hear you
You've been working all night long and I miss you so much
I know you're tired and you can't do more but I need you
To feel your skin close to mine, just that, you're the one for me

Mommy
Can you hear me, mommy?
I miss you, mommy
I just want you to be here, mommy
Come, I want to see you

I thought of you when I fell, but I always fight
To stay on my feet even when you're not here and it hurts a lot
I want to play and make you laugh, for you to notice me
Maybe tomorrow you’ll be here when I shout

Mommy, no
Don't, don't, don't leave me here, mommy
You're so strong, mommy
Oh, what a big pain I feel here in my heart, mommy
Come, I want to see you

There's not much left, I'm running out
There's nothing left, I already have it all
How much is that worth? I like it, but
Since I earn little, I spend less and pray
In this life, no one teaches you how to lose
Everything is about winning and running
About collecting and having, about paying and owing
And you can't fall off this tightrope

Play until you find a way
To reach the other shore
Where we were born stars
I peek down the hall without making a sound when I hear you
You've been working all night long and I miss you so much
I know you're tired and you can't do more but I need you
To feel your skin close to mine, just that, you're the one for me
Don't, don't, don't leave me here, mommy
You're so strong, mommy
I just want to have you here, mommy
