She tried son

 

16 years since I termed this life new

16 years since I became mum and dad, Liew 

It's now time to paint it new 

Son there's a life long gone, one I only wish you new 

Let me tell you 

Just listen 

Mum wasn't sick son, it's a call she blew 

She never abandoned us, just a battle she lost

She fought hard, her fortitude died first

Don't blame her, it's the dark side of the devil, the tongue

She fought hard son, she did 

It started as a cold son

Three, four weeks it demanded she be bold 

The fight had started, her whole body sore 

Fought it gladly, two of us by her side 

Your mum was a heroin son, she fought hard

She did fight hard

She really did

Keep the memories she hold dear 

Keep the principles she paints clear 

Be the son she wants, keep your values near 

Make her proud son, a hero for a heroin

She's a fighter son, she really fought well

She did fight well

Hold the values she would have wanted, please don't sway

Give your best in each one, keep her at bay 

Keep the fighters at bay

Your mum near 

Cause she fought well 

She fought well

She really did

I only wish she was here son

I really do...
