Mother Pray
Echoes of Love: Rediscovering the Sacred Harmony in 'Mother Pray'
Lyrics
How sweet and happy seem those days of which I dream
Reflecting on the joyous and blissful days that are the subject of the dream
Memories I recall now and then
Recalling memories intermittently
And with a rapture sweet my weary heart would beat
Expressing a longing for the past, with the heart reacting warmly
If I could hear my mother pray again
Expressing a desire to hear the mother's prayer once more for comfort
If I could only hear my mother pray again
Reiteration of the longing to hear the mother's prayer again
If I could hear her tender voice as then
Desiring to hear the mother's tender voice as it used to be
How happy I would be
Expressing happiness if the desire to hear the prayer is fulfilled
It would mean so much to me
Highlighting the significance and emotional value of hearing the mother's prayer again
If I could hear my mother pray again
Reiteration of the deep desire to hear the mother's prayer once more
Around the old home place her cherishing smiling face
Describing the mother's presence around the old home as comforting and joyful
Was always bringing comfort joy and cheer
Emphasizing the mother's role in bringing comfort, joy, and cheer to the home
And when she used to sing to her eternal King
Recalling the mother's singing, particularly to the eternal King (God)
It was the sound I loved to hear
Expressing a deep affection for the sound of the mother's singing
If I could only hear my mother pray again
Reiteration of the desire to hear the mother's prayer once more
If I could hear her tender voice as then
Expressing the specific desire to hear the mother's tender voice again
How happy I would be
Reiterating the happiness that hearing the prayer would bring
It would mean so much to me
Reaffirming the emotional significance of hearing the mother's prayer
If I could hear my mother pray again
Repetition of the deep desire to hear the mother's prayer once more
If I could hear my mother pray again
Final repetition of the longing to hear the mother's prayer again
If I could hear my mother pray again
