I called up mama and she said time will ease your pain
Life's about changing nothing ever stays the same

Sitting with mama alone in her bedroom
She opened her eyes and then squeezed my hand
She said I have to go now my time here is over
And with her final words she tried to help me understand
Mama whispered softly...
