| Just to be close to you Mother
Just for a moment, well just for an hour Just to be close to you Mother |
| You know I’ve been thru so many changes in my life Mother (O the vicissitudes of life!) Ah I’ve been up real high where I thought I didn’t need anybody Ah and then again I’ve been down real low where There was no one in my life who needed me Ah and I found that material things I thought had so much value O Mother didn’t really have any value at all(Mother Mary you are also the Mother of knowledge, for it is with you that we learn the most important lesson of all, that nothing is worthwhile if we are not close to Our Lord. All the wonders of this earth, the fulfillment of our every ambition, all this is worthless unless the living flame of love burns within us, unless there is the light of holy hope giving us a foretaste of never-ending love in our true homeland in heaven)[1] (Friends of God, 278) |
