Madre

Hello old lady how are you
Once again
I found you on your knees.
It's been a while since I came back
And once again I heard
You repeating my name.

Since the last time
When we argued
We haven't spoken again.
Sometimes my pride disguises
The desire to talk to you
And the reality.

I remember when I was a child
Seeing you pray
As you do now.
You're still as strong
In the same place
Where I used to see you alone.

I managed to make you believe
I was asleep
When you prayed for me.
You would touch my forehead with your hand
And talk to God about me.

Chorus

And if God kept me safe
It's because you never stopped praying.
That way of loving me
Makes you a special mother.
And if I returned today
And woke up from my past mistake
Forgive me
And give me the pleasure
Of praying with you again.

II

Every word for me
And tears
Were never in vain.
God heard your prayer
And if I'm here today
It's a miracle.
You never lost strength
On your knees
Nor the faith within you.
God sees your humble soul
And today you can smile.
