Dear Mother

I never say this to you mother,

but I am scared of darkness.

I don't show it very easily,

but I do care for you mother.

You know this mother, do you?

You know this mother...my mother.

Don't ever leave me in the crowd

for I won't be able to return home.

Don't send me so far away,

that you won't be able to remember me.

Am I so bad mother?

Am I so bad mother?

Whenever dad pushed the swing for me,

my eyes looked for you,

thinking that you would come and calm me down.

I could never tell it to him, mother

but I felt very cautious.

I didn't let it show on my face,

but in my heart I felt scared.

You know this mother, do you?

You know this mother...my mother.

I never say this to you mother,

but I am scared of darkness.

I don't show it very easily,

but I do care for you a lot.

You know this mother, do you?

You know this mother...my mother.

For a very dear friend.
