Song for My Mother - Genocide

Dear mom its been a while since we last spoke

And i apologize I know its my fault

I should of called so you know your son is OK

I know its hard when I’m 11,000 miles away

I keep you in my heart and I will always hold you there

So If i Dont call never think I don’t care

You know i do, but when we talk i feel guilty

Cuz I hear the pain in your voice and it kills me

Over 11yrs now ive been absent

Im sorry if i made you feel like you’ve been abandoned

I never planned it, but maybe it was destiny

Life took me on another road that was meant for me

But as you get older, times are getting harder

I know I should be there for my mother and my father

And for my brother too I know it ain’t easy

Believe me, I love n miss you all so deeply

I reminisce on the day that I said goodbye

Gave you a kiss and was so sad to see you cry

It was the first time I seen Dad shed a tear

And i was only supposed to be gone for a year

But i Settled here, and i know it made you hurt

Having your son on the other side of the world

But As a boy became a man I learned a lot of things

About Life, All the joy and the pain it brings

And when Times get tough you know I soldier on

Memories of the past help me move along

I won’t lie it ain’t easy being all alone

And if you ain’t here i can never call it home

Its a lonely road, got me feeling down and out

But i got a family of my own now to think about

Don’t take it wrong cuz you know i’ll always love you to

Dear mamma stay strong and we’ll see you soon
