bring her back to me
Huda Hamid 2004 (South Africa)
Badminton shuttles on the roof again
Wind-filled nights spent looking for them
Darkness fade when grey clouds thunder
Overpower the tears of my mother
There's cut up fruit in a green bowl covered
It's a quiet house, it feels so other
Darkness fade when grey clouds thunder
Overpower the tears of my mother
Shattered roof tiles, old paint cracked
A house of painting clogged blue on black
Darkness fade when grey clouds thunder
Overpower the tears of my mother
Hair-blown back, expectations high
The angel's laugh, a sin from the sky
Darkness fades and grey clouds thunder
Please heal the tears of my mother
