Days, They roll on too long
No sun to keep the world from falling apart
And I just sit and wait for the world to pass me by
This world, cold and wild
Faces of children, shocked and scared
The war out there is too much to bear
I close my eyes and think of home, and mom
Days of plenty, nights of fun
Dancing in the dark till the morning comes
Mami takes my hand and teaches me to dance and feel the music
I stare out the window, wondering where she is now
I ask myself, will we'll meet again somehow
Cause all I have to hold
Are the days from long ago
Are you there Mami
Mami, are you there
I am lost without you
I don't know where to go
Are you there Mami
Mami, are you there
I can't go on without you
I need you here to hold me close
I miss those days from long ago
But those days, they fade
Then they're gone
Arrived in Berlin, a foreign new land
Didn't understand one bit of this weird lang
Papi finds me and
Takes me to his house
He says
This is your new home
You'll be glad in this abode
Oh the little he knows
The girl I knew, I couldn't let her go
But there's no going back
No other way around
I knew I had to change and
Adjust to this life
Cuz when your life's destroyed
You start again with a second try
Changed my name
Bought new clothes
Learned the tongue
Locked away these memories
Locked away for good
I know
I can't go back to the way things were
The wound fades but the scar still remains
And there's still pain
Are you there, Mami
Mami, are you there
I've been alone for too long
I miss the dancing and being free
How could they take that away from me
Everyday
I sit and pray
Everyday
All I have to hold
Are the days from long ago
