When they cried I wore a grin
When they laughed I mourned within
When they danced I took my seat
When they sat I moved my feet
When they loved I walked away
When they left I wished they'd stay
They searched for light I found the shade
In their warmth I felt the fade
Aaaah ahh ahh
Aaaah ahh ahh
They wept in sorrow I felt no ache
They laughed with joy I chose no break
Aaaah ahh ahh
Aaaah
I'm the shadow in their glow
Slipping back as they let go
They move I stand I slip away
In their dawn I fade to stray
They're the faces in the crowd
Voices sure unshaken loud
I watch them fade like fading ghosts
Lost to shadows I fear most
They're
The whispers in the halls
Ripples rising silent calls
Chasing dreams that never tire
While I burn in quiet fire
I'm the shadow in their glow
Slipping back as they let go
They move I stand I slip away
In their dawn I fade to stray
Aaaah haa haa
Aaaah haa haa
Am I the murmur lost in the air
A restless flame or a quiet despair
Did they vanish without a sign
Or did I fail to find what's mine
At last the truth begins to show
The picture clears and I now know
Aaaah ahh
Aaaah ahh
The silence speaks the noise does creep
I find my truth no longer asleep
They closed their eyes as I would weep
In their death I woke from deep
Aaaah ahh ahh
As I have now awakened
As I have now Aaaah
Aaaah ahh ahh
As I have now
Aaaah ahh ahh
As I have now awakened
Aaaah
Aaaah
Mama
