Lyrics

[male vocals] The

parents

that

raised

you

to

what

you

are.

You

fail

to

care

for

them

while

they

live

in

old

age

We

lived

in

walls

of

grass,

no

floor

to

hide

the

sand

Trying

to

boil

the

pot

with

nothing

in

our

hand

I

watched

you

work

until

your

back

began

to

bow

Eating

once

a

day,

just

trying

to

make

it

somehow

I

had

the

hunger

in

my

belly,

you

had

the

worry

in

your

eyes

Under

the

leaking

thatch,

we

counted

all

the

heavy

sighs

Ifwe

were

struggling,

mama,

just

looking

for

the

light

But

survival

was

a

shadow

that

chased

us

through

the

night

Now

I’

m

pouring

the

cement,

sealing

up

the

floor

Building

up

the

marble

where

the

dust

was

once

before

I

bought

the

finest

stone

to

mark

where

you

now

sleep

But

why

didn't

I

give

you

the

harvest

I

could

reap?

When

you

were

breathing,

mama,

I

had

nothing

for

your

hand

Now

I’

m

giving

golden

tribute

to

the

cold

and

silent

land

I

remember

the

hunger,

the

way

you’

d

give

me

your

share

Pretending

you

were

full,

just

to

ease

my

heavy

care

I

was

chasing

paper,

mama,

trying

to

find

my

way

But

I

arrived

too

late,

I

missed

the

chance

to

change

your

day

Now

the

tombstone

is

shining,

it’

s

expensive

and

it’

s

grand

But

it

cannot

feel

the

touch,

it

cannot

understand

It

stands

here

in

the

rain,

a

monument

of

my

regret

For

all

the

things

I

didn't

do,

I

never

will

forget

Now

I’

m

pouring

the

cement,

sealing

up

the

floor

Building

up

the

marble

where

the

dust

was

once

before

I

bought

the

finest

stone

to

mark

where

you

now

sleep

But

why

didn't

I

give

you

the

harvest

I

could

reap?

When

you

were

breathing,

mama,

I

had

nothing

for

your

hand

Now

I’

m

giving

golden

tribute

to

the

cold

and

silent

land

I’

m

plastering

the

grave,

trying

to

cover

up

the

shame

Writing

out

your

honor,

engraving

your

lovely

name

They

say

it’

s

a

blessing,

they

say

I’

ve

done

so

well

But

inside

my

heart,

mama,

I’

m

living

in

a

private

hell (

Yoh,

the

guilt

is

heavy,

mama)

I

pray

you

see

me

now,

from

wherever

you

reside

That

you

don't

judge

the

son

who

was

struggling

inside

I’

m

trying

to

make

it

right,

even

if

it’

s

far

too

late

Sealing

up

the

silence

with

this

heavy

piece

of

slate

Natotela

for

the

love,

for

the

lessons

you

gave

Even

if

I’

m

pouring

all

my

riches

on

your

grave

Now

I’

m

pouring

the

cement,

sealing

up

the

floor

Building

up

the

marble

where

the

dust

was

once

before

I

bought

the

finest

stone

to

mark

where

you

now

sleep

But

why

didn't

I

give

you

the

harvest

I

could

reap?

When

you

were

breathing,

mama,

I

had

nothing

for

your

hand

Now

I’

m

giving

golden

tribute

to

the

cold

and

silent

land

Yeah,

I’

m

giving

you

the

stone

now

I

wish

I

gave

you

the

bread

back

then

Rest

in

peace,

mama (

Ayy,

it’

s

too

late,

it’

s

too

late...)

Just

dust

and

stone

now.
