Madre
It's a lonely house tonight
With you up on the hill
We're missing you, come home soon
Don't let us fall apart
You're the mortar to the stones
And the right to the wrong
The karma to the cold, vibrant and true
You're all we've ever needed
There's a space for you to fill
A light for you to bear
It'll never be forgotten,
or left to burn alive,
It'll always be waiting for you.
And we'll be holding hands
Making jokes to pass the time
And we'll agree, to disagree
On what to bring you from home
It'll be necessity
Not what was meant to be
Because we know, that as it stands
You're meant to be with us
I won't let you pass us by
We won't let you accept defeat
You'll hang on, without drifting too far
There is no us without you,
Because there's no love without its center.
All you need is drive
Some patient time to move
To shake it off, to break away
All you need is here
The smallest things may save you now
Dearest bits of nothing and no one
Please take care, what can we do
I'm scared without you here
But we all know, you're so close
You're only six floors high
No need for more, head towards the door
We'll meet you in the lobby,
And we might end up crying for a while.
