"Mama, My Mama"
Mama, my mama 
 Whom I miss so much, 
 Isn't around anymore. 
 Where are you, my mama? 
 Now, she's not around to give 
 Me her hugs and kisses. 
 
 Mama, my mama 
 Where are you, my great-great-aunt?
 You have watched me grow all 
 These passing years. 
 Now I watch you, in your
 White hospital bed. 
 
 Mama, my mama 
 Traveling from the home to the 
 hospital. Have you forgotten me? 
 Now I look at you, and you have 
 lost everything. 
 You used to laugh and play so much.
 Your eyes always outshining the sun. 
 
 Mama, my mama 
 Who used too hold me so tight, 
 Is now on her hospital bed 
 With hoses coming out of her body. 
 Now all you can do is look at me. 
 Now all you can do is dream. 
 
 Mama, my mama 
 You now do not seem like my mama.
 Now, you are a loved old woman 
 Who is on top of her hospital bed.
 Can't even breathe by herself. 
 Can't even laugh.
 
 Mama, my mama 
 Where are you, my mama? 
 Don't you dare leave me. 
 You said God would help you,
 But where is He now? 
 We wait, we wait, and still, 
 We wait... 
 
 Mama, my mama
 Keep fighting for your life. 
 I will be right beside you. 
 Your suffering will soon end, 
 And I'll be right beside you 
 When it does. 
 For no matter what, for always, 
 You will be 
 My mama, my great-great-aunt.
