Mom, you used to tell me
When I was born my eyes were blue
It’s my limbal ring that’s mama blue,
You only caught it once, but it’s always been blue.

My eyes were always brown traced with navy blue.
You saw it once through the reflection of a ray of light
When you laid your first eyes on me with new glasses and sight

It’s still the same blue mom,
But you can only see it blue
If you saw them with light shining through

Mom, I learned a deep secret of life and I would whisper to you
Mom, you too can learn to see beauty everywhere around you.
You talk about those eyes so often.
You can’t help but see that it’s also beautiful.

You saw them blue from the love of your light radiating through
My eyes were blue in your light because your heart was full
I know you caught a glimpse of your own reflection too

You felt so beautiful inside and your heart was so full
That is the secret and the gift of life that I want to give you
When your heart is full, you would open new eyes
You’d see all the signs and clues

Mom, the secret is to have a full heart
Mom, the skies aren’t always black and blue
If you see sunrise at sunrise or a sunset after noon
You’d see what I mean
would you know how it feels

Mom, when you open your eyes at five and look outside
Mom, it doesn’t matter if it’s day or night
You would capture magnificent shades of yellow-orange light
Sometimes conspicuous streaks of red and even bright dark magenta

Mom, you’re going to open new eyes
Mom come play with me outside
There’s so much more than just shades of hues in sight

Mama if you listen long enough
Mama, the birds in the trees will sing a song for you
Could you listen to my favorite song

Mom, if you raise your head to look at the sky
Mom, you would also see something magical between them
Because that’s where the secret double rainbow lies,
That’s where your pot of gold will begin to begin

Mom please wipe your tears and you can see it too
Mom, the rain will stop for you
You just gotta make sure your heart is full

But mom, I have to go now
I’ve been quietly picking my gold nuggets
Once I felt like my heart had a gaping hole
For everything they told me

Mom, I’m old
My wasted heart learned and saw
Amid the scorching sun and freezing cold

Mama no one can tell me now
How should I prune and hold
All the wonderful seeds I’ve sown

Come take a look at my garden mama,
You’d see all the weeds overgrown
Now there are only scented blooming flowers

Come take a look at them mom
You would see that they are still brown,
Surrounded with a dark ring of navy blue

Mom, I’ve figured out how
So please dry your eyes now
I don’t blame you when your heart isn’t full

But mom, I need to go home now.
I have my chance to collect my gold
There wait my love to unravel and behold

Has been waiting unconditionally,
I’ve finally learned to meet my soul
I finally learned the hard way,
That my heart has always been complete

Mom, I hope one day you see it too
Mom you can do that once your heart is full
When your heart is truly complete,
The world would be yours to hold

You can find all the rich,
You can start mining the gold.
But mama I haven’t seen your heart full since that day

I’d still hear you say,
I had them blue
Mom, it’s your heart that isn’t full
Mom, my eyes are still blue

I looked in the mirror today
They are still the same pair of eyes.
Mom, don’t cry when you don’t see me around
Mom, don’t be afraid when you feel sad

When your heart starts to make your world feel small
Just remember those big blue eyes you once saw
Those blue eyes you remembered will sing you a peaceful lullaby

You can find the secret pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
‘Cause every gold nugget inside hides
All the infinite abundance you can have in sight

Mom, I’m whispering the secret to you again tonight.
Mom, your heart was unconditionally complete that night
Mom, your heart was overflowing

You can see your own reflection
The same way you saw those newborn eyes
You were the one who gave me that final clue.

Mama your heart may still be full
Mom, you can also see it in your own eyes
Mom, my eyes came from you

“Mom, I’ve been silent for a long time,
I was always afraid to say something bad,
So I never learned how to practice and play my song.

No one listened when I used to scream and hide
I know exactly how frightening that fight and silence are.
Completely losing the strength of a voice that was exaggerated.

Mom, somewhere in this world,
I know someone is hurting inside
I can’t keep quiet hiding from view.

I found the words that would start to stop the mourning,
So the world can start learning the words to my song
Of all the mistakes we’ve seen, heard and wronged.

The words of my song will bring hope and light,
I have learned the secret behind writing lyrics late at night.
I could revive you when you think you’ve lost the fight.

They could break covered sticks and stones,
Alone on the waking trail of hardened and broken hearts
We could start mining these cold abandoned holes.

Mom, hearts that heal can come to life to light a spark,
Renew life with a new beat from the warmth of sunlight
If I made the right words to calm the rhythm that went so wrong for me.

But mom, you’ve never heard the lyrics,
Why would you choose the silences of my song
About laughing noises sounds you think don’t belong.

Mom, I hope one day you find relief from yourself,
When you come to see the love that I have learned to give myself
You would hear the words I once tried to rehearse for you.

Mom, I’m going to stop biting my tongue because I’m strong,
My heart will cry for the last time for all the ills
When I start to unravel the past it hurts in my song.

Mom, they are going to learn every word of my melody,
When my eyes are done crying for the last time and I’m gone
The world will memorize the words of my song.

Mom, one day you would like to get out of my old silence,
When you hear the echoes of my melody in the distant sirens
Because I’ve finally learned how to reveal and sing my new song.”
