Mother ![]() Through deluge and flame I'm calling your name My cry shudders stars and the moonlight Your wing's like a shield Your whisper can heal all sorrows If I reached the sky, it was thanks to my deep roots Hold me tight, rocking, Mother The cradle of life got harder Charge me with raging thunder Give me the strength to go on And I thought the night would end When I will get out of your womb But it's even darker out here. Your scars would be my guide through a sullen world Light my torch! Bare feet on sunburst Each step's like the first Lift me on my feet when I fall off a cliff Hold me tight, rocking, Mother The cradle of life got harder Charge me with raging thunder Give me the strength to go on And I thought the night would end When I will get out of your womb But it's even darker out here. Your scars would be my guide through a sullen world. I need your hand 'cause now my wounds are starting to whip hard. Hear my voice! Now! The night is dark I'm lost The deep haze shrouded my way home Give me a sign I need you, Mother I beg don't cry My Esperanza, hold me tight My Esperanza, hear me… — Jurii Kirnev 13 April 2023 |
