Kid, do you have many questions?
Why do other children read cartoon books while I’m learning to draw or play piano?
Why do they play games while I am learning the A,B,Cs?
I said I needed a jet plane but only got an old radio set.
Why listen to Mom’s words?
You will get to know the reason when you grow up.
I got to know that when I was growing up.
That’s the reason I run faster and fly higher than others do,
In the future, everybody will the read cartoon books I draw and sing the songs I write.
Mom never let you see her hardship
The tasty recipies deep in her heart
Hold her hands now and then
Listen to your mom’s words and don’t break her heart
I wanted to grow up faster to protect her
Beautiful gray hair is budding in the happiness
Angel’s magic is oozing kindness
Listen to your mom and fall in love later…
Mom asks you study hard ’cause she doesn’t want you to lose…
