Life and death, without these extremes
Where would we be?
Somewhere I belonged in the median of your being.
You watched my eyes open
And I watched yours close
But before you drifted away

Life made me a place

Your lessons will stay with me
Your teachings will not recede
I promise that I'll make you proud
Make you proud of me
You didn't live your life in vain and I want you to know
Your love, your heart, lives on through me.

I will never forget, your smile, I will never let go, of your voice.
I will never forget, your patience, I will never let go, of your memory

Mother, mother
Let me sink into your arms again
Once more
Just one more time
Mother, mother
Teach me to reach through the unseen
Reach out to me

Your lessons will stay with me
Your teachings not recede
I promise that I'll make you proud
Make you proud of me
Make you proud of me

Life and death, without these extremes
Where would we be?
Somewhere I belonged in the median of your being.

Mother, mother
Let me sink into your arms again
Once more
Just one more time
Mother, mother
Teach me to reach through the unseen
Reach out to me
