Mama, you used to tell me
When I was born my eyes were blue
It’s my limbal ring that’s blue mom
You only caught it once, but it’s always been blue
My eyes were always brown outlined with navy blue
You saw it once through the reflection of a ray of light
When you laid your first eyes on me with new glasses and sight
It’s still the same blue mom
But you can only see it blue
If you saw them with light shining through
Mama, I learned a deep secret of life and I would whisper to you
Mom, you can also learn to see beauty everywhere around you
You talk about those eyes so often
You can’t help but see that it’s beautiful too
You saw them blue for the love of your light radiating through
My eyes were blue under your light because your heart was full
I know you got a glimpse of your own reflection too
You felt so beautiful inside and your heart was so full
That is the secret and gift of life that I want to give you
When your heart is full, would you open new eyes
You would see all the signs and the clues
Mama the secret is to keep your heart full
Mama the skies aren’t always black and blue
If you see the sunrise at sunrise or a sunset after noon
Would you see what i mean
Would you know how it feels
Mama, when you open your eyes at five and look outside
Mama, it doesn’t matter if it’s day or night
You would catch gorgeous shades of yellow-orange light
Sometimes bold streaks of red and even bright dark magenta
Mama you’re going to open new eyes
Mama come play with me outside
There is much more than nuances of hues to be seen
Mama, if you listen enough
Mama, the birds in the trees will sing you a song
Could you hear my favorite melody
Mama, if you lift your head to look at the sky
Mom, you would also see something magical between them
Cause that’s where the secret double rainbow lies
That’s where your pot of gold will start to attract
Mama please wipe your tears and you can see it too
Mama, the rain is going to stop for you
You just have to make sure your heart is full
But mama I have to go now
I’ve been quietly collecting my gold nuggets
I once felt like my heart had a huge hole
For everything they told me
Mom, I’m older
My wasted heart has learned and seen
In the middle of the scorching sun and the freezing cold
Mama, no one can tell me now
How should I prune and fasten
All the wonderful seeds that I sowed
Come take a look at my garden mom
You’d see all the overgrown weeds being pulled up
Now there are only scented flowers
Come take a look at them mom
You would see they are still brown
Surrounded by a dark navy blue ring
Mom, I’ve found out how
So please dry your eyes now
I don’t blame you when your heart is not full
But mama I need to go home now
I have the opportunity to collect my gold
There, wait my love to untangle and contemplate
Has been waiting unconditionally
I finally learned to meet my soul
I finally learned the hard way
That my heart has always been whole
Mama, I hope one day you see it too
Mama you can do that once your heart is full
When your heart is truly complete
The world would be yours to behold
You can find all the rich
You can start mining for gold
But mama, I haven’t seen your heart full since that day
I would keep hearing you say
I used to have them blue
Mama, it’s your heart that isn’t full
Mama, my eyes are still blue
I looked in the mirror today
They are still the same pair of eyes
Mama don’t cry when you don’t see me around
Mama don’t be afraid when you feel sad
When your heart starts to make your world feel small
Just remember those big blue eyes you once saw
Those blue eyes you remembered will sing you a peaceful lullaby
You can find the secret pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Because every nugget of gold inside hides
All the infinite abundance you can have in sight
Mama, I’m whispering the secret to you again tonight
Mama, your heart was unconditionally complete that night
Mama, your heart was full to overflow
You can see your own reflection
The same way you saw those newborn eyes
You were the one who gave me that last clue
Mama, your heart may still be full
Mom, you can see it in your own eyes too
Mama, my eyes came from you
“Mom, I have been silent for a long time,
I was always afraid to say something wrong
So I never learned to practice and play my song.
No one listened when I used to scream and hide
I know how scary that fight and that silence
Completely lose the strength of an exaggerated voice.
Mama, somewhere in this world
I know someone is hurting inside
I can’t keep quiet by hiding out of sight.
I found the words that would start to stop the duel
So the world can start learning the lyrics to my song
Of all the mistakes we have seen, heard and wronged.
The lyrics of my song will bring hope and light
I learned the secret behind writing the lyrics late at night.
You could revive it when you think you’ve lost the fight.
They could break the covered sticks and stones,
On the waking trail of hardened and broken hearts alone
We could start mining these cold abandoned holes.
Mama, healing hearts can come alive to light a spark
Renew life with a new heartbeat from the warmth of sunlight
If I fit the right words to slow the pace, I was so wrong.
But mama you never heard the lyrics
Because you would choose the silences of my song
About laughing noises that you think don’t belong.
Mama, I hope that one day you find relief from yourself
When you come to see the love that I learned to give myself
You would hear the words that I once tried to rehearse.
Mom, I’m going to stop biting my tongue because I’m strong
My heart will cry for the last time for all the evils
When I start to unravel the past it hurts in my song.
Mama, they gon ‘learn every word in my melody
When my eyes are done crying for the last time and I’m gone
The world will memorize the lyrics of my song.
Mama, one day you wish you could get out of my old silence
When you hear the echoes of my melody in the distant sirens
Because I finally learned to reveal and sing my new song. ”
