My Heart's Longing

(Ayy, yoh...)

My heart is heavy but I send this out

To my children, my blood, my peace

Can you hear me now?

Maria, my daughter, you are a gift from God

Matthias, my son, I miss you, it’s hard to stay

Violet, my sister, it’s been such a long time

I think of you always, crossing the borderline

Don’t you worry, my people, I’m sending my soul

The distance is deep but you make me whole

Oh, I love you, my children, my world, my own

I’m praying for you wherever you’ve grown

Keep the peace, stay together, that’s my only prayer

God knows the path, even when I'm not there

I love you, I miss you, where are you tonight?

My sweet ones, my heart, my fading light

Good day to you all, I’m thinking in the sun

From the rise of the morning until the day is done

Are you eating? Are you sleeping? Do you feel my grace?

I’m looking for shadows of your beautiful face

My mum, my brother, my dad, my soul

You are the pieces that make up the whole

Oh, I love you, my children, my world, my own

I’m praying for you wherever you’ve grown

Keep the peace, stay together, that’s my only prayer

God knows the path, even when I'm not there

I love you, I miss you, where are you tonight?

My sweet ones, my heart, my fading light

I cannot hold you, the silence is wide

But the love that I carry has nowhere to hide

My only one, my love, my reason to stand

I’m reaching out across this lonely land

I miss you so much, where are you now?

My lovely sweet ones, I’m making a vow

To love you forever, in spirit and prayer

(Ayy... stay in peace...)

I’ll always be waiting, I’ll always be there.
