Mama
Again I see her getting her things together in front of her dresserAgain I see her getting dressed in the morning, to drop us off on the way
I still hear the key in the lock, she is coming for sure
and then that perfect look when she came home from work
Again I see her making dinner, her call and hearing her
We ask a million questions and then we relax in the living room
but I listen to the silence, to her, we didn't know anything else
She didn't talk about her power and the good things she did
so strong, so strong
How Iove you mama
You made my dreams huge
even if often
I missed her a little, a lot, your presecence
(your prescence, your prescence)
Again I see myself often asking why she wasn't there
when it was the time to get out of school at she turned into my compass
Again I see myself waiting for her return, worried and a little jealous
but where was she those days, what was the place she preferred?
She told me that one fine day I would understand
that me too, I wouid be ambitious and to make me feel happy
I would have to build a career, i would have to fight hard for my ideas
evidently a woman can do it all, she very very much proved it
so strong so strong
How Iove you mama
You made my dreams huge
even if often
I missed her a little, a lot, your presecence
(your prescence, your prescence)
and then the time came when she asked me
what I was doing with my days, why hadn't I called her
she put her apron away and put all her files in order
She sat in the living room looking for something else to do
I see her become that woman who didn't dare say
that the hours stretched out in front of her and that she didn't know what to do
but she would always be the someone who knew and accomplished it all
She deserved it, her retirement and the best that had come to stay
How Iove you mama
You made my dreams huge
even if often
I missed her a little, a lot, your presecence
(your prescence, your prescence)
