Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Holy Mother, where are You?
Tonight, I feel broken in two
I've seen the stars fall from the sky
Holy Mother, can't keep from crying
[Verse 2]
Oh, I need Your help this time
Get me through this lonely night
Tell me, please, which way to turn
To find myself again
[Verse 3]
Holy Mother, hear my prayer
Somehow I know you're still there
Help me please find peace of mind
Take away this pain
[Verse 4]
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait any longer
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait for You
[Verse 5]
Holy Mother, hear my cry
I've called Your name a thousand times
I've felt the anger running through my soul
All I need is a hand to hold
[Verse 6]
Oh, I feel the end has come
No longer my legs will run
You know I would rather be
In your arms tonight
[Verse 7]
When my hands no longer play
My voice is still, I fade away
Holy Mother, there I will be
Lyin' in, safe within your arms
[Verse 8]
Holy Mother, hear my cry
Holy Mother, hear my cry
Holy Mother, hear my cry
(Holy Mother, hear my cry)
Holy Mother, hear my cry
Holy Mother, hear my cry
Holy Mother, hear my cry
