An Ocean Away 

“Where’s mommy?
She’s been gone a long time
Away from home
Away from home

“Does she love me
No longer?
I miss mommy
I miss my mommy”

Hush, little kid,
She still loves you
She’s just an ocean away
An ocean away

Away
To where she lives
Another life
Aside from her own
To where she takes care
Of other people’s kids
Not of her own

She’s sacrificed a lot
Just think about
All the tears she cried
Thinking of you

For your future
For the life
That she herself
Wasn’t able to live

Your mommy’s OK
And she misses you, too
And how she’d love to hold you
And hug you, little kid

Your mommy’s OK
For your future
She’s just an ocean away
An ocean away.
