Mother, I've grown to an age, I have to take my own steps, To be the man you've made... Show me the way. I've got my faults and they are great... You don't want to know. I'm far from being perfect... I'm not your baby boy... ...you once held. Mother won't you... Sing your son to sleep once more? I witness, Her pulse is lessening... A blow I can't ignore. Mother, please send me far away from this place. Protect me, don't let me see her fade. This memory will haunt me... Her breath is leaving soon... I don't know what to do. What's the tune? Mother won't you, Sing your son to sleep once more? I witness, her pulse is lessening, A blow I can't ignore. Sleep now, precious, cuz your body's gone but, Reach out and press your heart against mine. You showed me how to grow old, And taught me how to love. Mother I guess we're all alone. What's the tune? Mother won't you, Sing your son to sleep once more? I witness... her pulse is lessening, A blow I can't ignore.
