i hear you sing again

if i could only hear my mother sing again

if i could close my eyes and hear your voice as then

all the friends and family

would sing along with me

and set your spirit free

in my heart i hear you sing again

every note as natural as then

when i sing those songs

with family and friends

in my heart i hear you sing again

i know the troubled times that turned your hair to grey

and all the tears and sorrows followed to your grave

but deep within the heart of hunger

there were always melodies

passed from you to me

in my heart i hear you sing again

every note as natural as then

when i sing those songs

for family and friends

in my heart i hear you sing again

and it's a long

long road i've come

since my mother's songs were heard

but the child i can't outrun

still hangs on every word

in my heart i hear you sing again

every note as natural as then

when i sing those songs

with family and friends

in my heart i hear you sing again

in my heart

i hear you sing again
