A mother cries It seems no one is listening Her baby died before his time She tried to raise him right No medal for the fight And she's tired now She tired now Can you hear me now? The time is coming Can you hear me now? The time is near Can you hear me now? The time is coming Can you hear me now? A tear in her eye A heart full of sadness And a memory of pain She struggled, she fought, she tried The years in her mind Could never replace The image of your face Can you hear me now? The time is coming Can you hear me now? The time is near Can you hear me now? The time is coming Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? The time is coming Can you hear me now? The time is near Can you hear me now? The time is coming Can you hear me now?
