Dear sister, hold me close
Try not to drop me on my head again.
There's already too much pain in there,
I don't know where to begin.
Dear sister, hear my pleading words and
Dry my streaming eyes.
Won't you stay with me while I
Try my best, not to die?
Absent mother, do you hear me when I
Cry for you at night?
Sometimes I swear I feel you at my back
Or I smell you in the sunlight.
Wayward mother, I am looking for you though
I know it isn't right.
I need you more than ever now,
Only you can heal this plight.
Father shield me from the funeral pyres,
On the path behind me.
I feel their heat in my chest,
Like an infection that won't rest.
Father won't you heal the hurt that
Your wife left?
Father won't you protect me from the tiny blaze,
That burns behind me?
Father won't you close my eyes,
Shield the sight of a burning child,
From my gaze?
