[Intro] Mmm,
Norah
Nnem
I
need
you
here,
but
you're
gone
[Verse 1] The
house
is
quiet,
the
shadows
grow
long
I’
m
looking
for
a
sign
that
I
belong
To
a
world
where
you’
re
not
sitting
in
your
chair
I
reach
out
my
hand,
but
you’
re
just
not
there
I’
m
hurting,
Mom,
the
silence
is
so
loud
Searching
for
your
face
inside
a
lonely
cloud
It
pains
me
to
know
you
had
to
go
away
I’
m
finding
it
so
hard
to
face
the
day
[Chorus] Oh,
Mom,
why
now?
Why
did
you
have
to
leave?
I’
m
drowning
in
the
tears,
I’
m
finding
it
hard
to
believe
That
you’
re
with
God
now,
in
a
place
so
bright
But
I’
m
left
here
alone
in
the
middle
of
the
night
Yeah,
Mom,
why
now?
Mourheart
is
breaking
deep
I’
m
counting
all
the
promises
we
couldn’
t
keep
[Verse 2] Bright
nwakanma
your
son,
yeah,
I’
m
here
and
I’
m
crying
Seems
like
part
of
my
spirit
is
slowly
dying
I
remember
your
smile,
I
remember
your
grace
I’
d
give
anything
just
to
see
your
face
They
say
time
heals,
but
it’
s
moving
too
slow
There’
s
so
much
more
that
I
needed
you
to
know
I’
m
lost
in
the
space
where
your
spirit
used
to
be
Come
here,
comfort
me,
set
my
heavy
heart
free
[Chorus] Oh,
Mom,
why
now?
Why
did
you
have
to
leave?
I’
m
drowning
in
the
tears,
I’
m
finding
it
hard
to
believe
That
you’
re
with
God
now,
in
a
place
so
bright
But
I’
m
left
here
alone
in
the
middle
of
the
night
Yeah,
Mom,
why
now?
My
heart
is
breaking
deep
I’
m
counting
all
the
promises
we
couldn’
t
keep
[Bridge] I
know
you’
re
resting,
no
more
pain
to
bear
But
the
world
is
heavy
when
you’
re
not
standing
there
I’
ll
hold
on
to
the
light
you
left
behind
You’
re
the
sweetest
memory
inside
of
my
mind
[Verse 3] I’
m
talking
to
the
stars,
hoping
you
can
hear
Every
single
whisper,
every
single
tear
I’
m
trying
to
stay
strong,
that’
s
what
you
taught
me
to
do
But
every
beat
of
my
heart
is
reaching
out
for
you
I’
m
standing
in
the
truth
that
life
has
to
end
But
it
hurts
to
lose
my
mother
and
my
best
friend
[Chorus] Oh,
Mom,
why
now?
Why
did
you
have
to
leave?
Bright
and
Chinaecherem
are
drowning
in
the
tears,
I’
m
finding
it
hard
to
believe
That
you’
re
with
God
now,
in
a
place
so
bright
But
I’
m
left
here
alone
in
the
middle
of
the
night
Yeah,
Mom,
why
now?
My
heart
is
breaking
deep
I’
m
counting
all
the
promises
we
couldn’
t
keep
[Outro] Yeah,
you're
with
God
now
Yeah,
you're
with
God
now
Mmm,
rest
easy,
Mom
I’
ll
see
you
again
someday
I
need
you...
I
miss
you
Oh,
