Dear Mama
Good day

Mama

But none a di less
Sorry fi tell ya seh poor lickle Jim get arres

Hevrybody jus a hustle and a bustle
To go home fi dem evenin' shower
Mi an Jim stan up waitin' pon a bus
Not causin' no fuss
When all of a sudden a police van pull up
Out jump tree policemen
De whole a dem carryin' baton
Dem walk straight up to me and Jim
One a dem hold on to Jim
Seh dem tekin' him in

Mama
Doan fret
Doan get depress an downhearted
Be of good courage
Till I hear from you
I remain
Your son
Sonny
Even if the rain, even if the rain falls down
Life is full of memories, we won't let them wash away
Even if the rain, even if the rain falls down
The sun will always shine on you and me, even even if the rain
Let me in, the voice cried softly
From outside the wooden door
Scattered remnants of the ship could be seen in the distance
Blood stained the icy wall of the shore
I'm the only one left. The storm, took them all
He managed as he tried to stand
The tears ran down his face
Please, it's cold
When he woke, there was no trace of the ship
Only the dawn was left behind by the storm
He felt the creaking of the stairs beneath him
That rose, from the sea, to the door
There was a sound at the window then
The captain started, his breath was still
Slowly, he turned
From behind the edge of the windowsill
There appeared the delicate hand of a child
His face was flush and timid
He stared at the captain through frightened eyes
The captain reached for something to hold on to
Help me, he whispered, as he rose slowly to his feet
The boy's face went pale
He recognized the sound
Silently, he pulled down the shade against the shadow
Lost in the doorstep of the empty house
I'm trying to find my way home
I'm sorry
And I miss you
I miss you
I've grown taller now
I want the police to be notified
I'll make it up to you
I swear, I'll make it up to you
