Child
my child
hold on to Mommy's hand
the way to Heaven
is too dark
Mommy is afaid
you might lose your way
Come
hold on to Mommy's hand
tight
let Mommy leave the world together with you
the way to Heaven
is too dark
Mommy
is afraid
can't find your hands
after
the light
had been taken away by the fallen walls
I can't
see your gentle eyes
anymore
Child
go on
there's no more grief on the road ahead
no more textbooks you don't like
no more spankings from your loving Daddy
But
you must remember
the faces of your Mommy
and your Daddy
we will spend our next life
together
Mommy, Mommy
don't worry
I am not alone on the way
friends and classmates are here
Mommy, Mommy,
don't cry,
every mommy is our mommy,
every child has a mommy,
the life without me,
give your love to the surviving children
Mommy, Mommy
I don't want you to cry
tears can't lighten the way
this is our way
let us walk by myself
step by step
Mommy, Mommy
I will remember you and Daddy
I will remember our promise
live our next life
together...
