My mother
You were there
When I wanted you
But you were not there
When I wanted you more
You were there
When I cried
To comfort me

My father
You were there
When I wanted you
But you were not there
When I wanted you more
You were there
When I sick
To try to heal me

My mother
You were there
When I needed you
But you were not there
When I needed you more

My father
You were there
When I needed you
But you were not there
When I needed you more

My parents were there
When I grew up
But they are not here
When I am old.
