Resting in God's lap, I was enjoying the heaven
When suddenly I was told to leave.
I thought I was being sent to some prison,
But what I saw on opening my eyes was hard to believe...
The face of an angel with tears in her eyes,
And people all around her bubbling with joy...
Scared to be among strange faces
I let out a cry,
Your arms around me I felt all of a sudden
And it was then I knew it was more comforting than heaven...

The language I knew was not familier to all,
But you could look into my eyes and know it all...
My needs you knew without a word,
My silence you understood,
When no one in this world could...
I held your finger and took the first step,
Unaware of what lay ahead,
But your presence made all my fears disappear,
And the blurred visions became clear...

My identity to me was given by you,
They told me I was but a part of you...
My name they said was given by you,
'Mother' - they said mine were you...
The pride of being born to you,
I have felt since the day I have known you...

I stepped into a new age,
leaving behind those golden days...
Every step I took ahead,
Reminded me of what I had left...
Our dreams, I thought was what I was trying to persue,
But in this struggle, I somewhere lost me and you...
The distance we travelled together to get me here,
Doesn't allow me to turn back and again be there...
Doesn't allow me to rest in your lap anymore,
And success now tastes bitter than failure...
For though I have moved up on the ladder,
It has only left me sadder...
The happiness of seeing that smile on your face
and the brightness in your eyes,
Is the only force that keeps me alive...
Alive, though a part of me is already dead inside...
For you I walk this path now...
And what seemed heaven has been lost for long now...
And it's the prison where I live now...
It's the prison where I live now...
