the only goddess I know and respect
Many have tried to deny the value of your presence
and yet they survived by sucking milk from your breasts
Your existence has always been the essence of life to mankind 
Mama pleeze wipe your tears
Echoes of your cries in my heart is all I hear
Swallow your fears coz the glorious times are near
Mama pleeze wipe your tears 
For so many centuries you$BCW(Be been in misery
coz only you can comprehend the complexities of your tragedies
you$BCE(B always manage to overcome adversities
Your hospitality has caused you so many enemies
because they were guided by selfish needs, vanity and greed
They turned many of your children into hungry beasts
Divide and rule was the golden rule of these subhuman beings
They are the fools who glorify destructive tools 
Their passion is orchestration of atrocities
But they$BCM(Bl always fail to diminish your everlasting spirit
Mama pleeze wipe your tears
Echoes of your cries in my heart is all I hear
Swallow your fears coz the glorious times are near
Mama pleeze wipe your tears
