What prayer did you whisper for me, mother…
What prayer did you whisper for me, Mother,
That fortune carved its name upon my door…
What prayer did you whisper for me, Mother,
That sorrow slipped away from my hands…
What prayer did you whisper for me, Mother,
That even soil I touch turns into gold…
The stones my enemies once hurled at me
Become like feathers before they reach me…
What prayer did you whisper for me, Mother,
That goodness now surrounds me on all sides…
I used to be a little selfish once,
Now not a trace of evil stays inside…
What prayer did you whisper for me, Mother,
That all my work succeeds without much strain…
Each day, as if happiness seeks my heart,
It waits patiently outside my door…
What prayer did you whisper for me, Mother,
That flowers bloom wherever I may tread…
If you just smile and call me “my dear child,”
My aging heart lights up, revived again…
What prayer did you whisper for me, Mother,
No tears of grief are left within my eyes…
Only from joy they gently start to fall,
For while you’re here, I bow to none but you…
What prayer did you whisper for me, Mother,
That fortune carved its name upon my door…
What prayer did you whisper for me, Mother,
That sorrow slipped away from my hands…
