mother, I've tried to make you so proud

in my own eyes

should I push forward when I'm tired,

help you when you've expired

and if I can't would you swallow me

back inside

from the outside

and let me breath

in between

father, in your eyes

will you show me around

my deaf life

across the river, deep and wide

step to step, leave me behind

with oceans between divining our time

where ever you are

how near, how far

where ever we were

I don't know where I have gone

like gone with wind

flown straight to the sun

as you once were

is as you are
