[Verse 1] All children have a mother, They have a father — that’s how life should be. They are kissed goodnight before they sleep, And they laugh happily throughout the day. [Verse 2] Dear mother, I wrote you a letter, And after many long days, Today it came back to me, crying, Still sobbing beneath my pillow. Still sobbing beneath my pillow. [Verse 3] And there was so much I wanted to tell you, That I have grown up and how I am doing. And that I live here among children, Who also don’t have mothers. Who also don’t have mothers. [Verse 4] Mother, my dear, I eat so little, I get A’s and B’s at school. And I am so afraid, because I don’t know… How much longer I will be alone. [Verse 5] I already have so many letters written, I colored them every single day. But the person they are meant for is still unknown, So I keep them beneath my pillow. I keep them beneath my pillow. [Verse 6] How can I erase from my memory… How many years will it take? Today, as if looking up from a deep well, I watch this laughing world. I watch this laughing world.
