I hear voices in the night
deep in my dreams,
I see a bright light
I then open my eyes and there she is
My mother is calling, calling for me
I don't understand what is going on
She looks real to me,
but she's been long gone
She's telling me it's time for me to move on
My mother is calling from the beyond
It's time to cross the river...
It's time to be free...
from feeling so sick from this disease
It's time to cross over...
don't worry about goodbyes...
you'll be in your family's hearts
until the end of time
I called my sister the next day
I asked what it meant...
she didn't know what to say...
We pondered for hours on the telephone line
Why is mommy calling,
calling me at this time?
I hear my last prayers...
I'm so tired and can't move...
My whole family is here...
I can feel them in the room...
The sky is opening wide and now
I can see through the clouds!...
My mother is calling, calling out loud!
She's calling with open arms...
you're an angel now...
You're free from the pain
that once held you down...
I know now why God sent Mommy down...
Who else would I have believed...
it's was time for me now...
