A Mother, A Son
Somewhere out there, long ago, I never knew your touch, I understand the pain, the confusion,
Somewhere out there, far away, [For Nguyen Thi Cai, somewhere you are there (Born in Vinh Long 10-22-1973, adopted 1974)] © Nguyen Hoang Thong
Somewhere out there, here and now,
I wondered where you were,
I wonder where you are.
I never knew your love,
I never heard you say
I love you, from a mother to her son.
I only long to hear the words
of comfort, of compassion,
if I were your reason, your love.
Somewhere out there, still today,
I wish you knew, I wish I knew
A love of a mother without a son.
