You carried me through the journey
toward this world
And laid my heart like a little treasure
in my hands
Use, you said, when it was time
I moved through heavens, through hells
I carried your heart in my heart
Ma, before you delivered
Were you also exhausted?
Were you also crying in pain
Once you leaned beside me in the crib
And told a story of a beautiful place of dreams
I know now I am those dreams
Your heart in my heart
has led me here
