It's been a year since I’ve seen mama And even though we talk everyday There's nothing like a mother's arms to hold you When you’re living through the trials of these days I go out walking every morning Searching for something close to peace It's simple as a bird perched on a wire Or the way the winter light moves through the leaves I wish that I had answers for my daughters As we stumble through the looking glass of screens And the little onе keeps asking why we can't go To see the ones wе love so far away To see the ones we love so far away
