Mother
Abhilasha Sinha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The stars and the sea
Are falling asleep
Tomorrow's another day
Open your eyes
And then realize
The darkness has gone away

Holding her chest
Her own Everest
Counting each breath you take
She will return and she will learn
That you are still awake

When the stormy skies
Make the cold winds cry
Mother hold me tight
Till I'm asleep
When the morning light
Gently breaks the night
Mother say goodbye
Before you leave

Voices so sweet
That sing me to sleep
Fears that will melt away
On seeing her face
Filled with her grace
And all that she has to say

There is no rest
When birds leave the nest
Counting the weeks and days
Till they return
And they will learn
That she has been awake

When the stormy skies
Make the cold winds cry
Mother hold me tight
Till I'm asleep
When the morning light
Gently breaks the night




Mother say goodbye
Before you leave
