Oh Mother, oh dear,
This isn't my voice that lingers here.
I have missed you for a while,
And your sweet, sweet smile.
I haven't seen you for so long,
Oh where did I go wrong!
I have tried to make this better,
But it feels like I have known you forever.
Before you left, I thought you were cool,
But you never packed me to go to school.
But with you by my side, we will win his fight!
