Lyrics

v1
One-day mama told me to pack up my things,
I tried, but I didn't understand a thing,
So mad so sad that I couldn't speak
She said there's nothing left for me in these empty streets

Chorus
That night I heard her heart cry thunder, thunder
The cause.... and the cure

v1
Arrived that day no proper shoes on my feet
Little boy with, starry eyes illuminating the street
Closed my eyes, bit my lips
I prayed through winter
Days were long, nights alone, in cold December

Chorus
My soul drifting down a river, a river
The cause and the cure

v3
Excuse me sir is there work today?
Can I prove to you I'll work a week with no pay?
Years go by my fortune changed never thought it could be
I look back at the boy, was this meant to be?

Chorus
For years, lost searching for the answers, the answers,
The cause...and the cure

Outro
Forever grateful motherland
The cause you may not understand
Although fate left us miles apart
Forgive the cure that changed my path
