[Verse 1]
If I could only hear my mother sing again
If I could close my eyes and hear your voice as then
All the friends and family
Would sing along with me
And set your spirit free

[Chorus]
In my heart I hear you sing again
Every note as natural as then
And when I sing those songs
For family and friends
In my heart I hear you sing again

[Verse 2]
I know the troubled times that turned your hair to grey
And all the tears and sorrows followed to your grave
But deep within the heart of hunger
There were always melodies
Passed from you to me

[Chorus]
In my heart I hear you sing again
Every note as natural as then
When I sing those songs
For family and friends
In my heart I hear your voice again
[Bridge]
And it's a long, long road I've come
Since my mother's songs were heard
But the child I can't outrun
Still hangs on every word

[Chorus]
In my heart I hear you sing again
Every note as natural as then
When I sing those songs
For family and friends
In my heart I hear you sing again
In my heart I hear your voice again
