Dear mother, can you hear me whining? It's been 3 whole weeks since I left your home This sudden fear has left me trembling Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own And I'm feeling so alone
Pay attention to the cracked streets and broken homes Some call it the slums Some call it nice I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home Welcome to Paradise
A gunshot rings out at the station Another urchin snaps and left deadon his own It makes me wonder why I'm still here For some strange reason it's now Feeling like a home And I'm not gonna go
Dear mother, can you hear me laughing? It's been 6 months since I have left your home It makes me wonder why I'm still here For some strange reason it's now Feeling like a home And I'm not gonna go
