Mata? Mata?
Can you hear the mother crying?
These hard days of hearing her woes

Can you see my mother crying?
Fortune found those tellers told


Throw away the words of wisdom
Never heard her tell me lies
Culmination of fighting harder

Always on the wrong side

She's never done me wrong

Praying for the time that's gone
I've never done no wrong
While waking up on the Dark side of Dawn

Mata?

Following the cry of her children

Even those that are fallen victims
Grabbing at the strands of patience
Crawling through the painful motions


Failed to see the time gone by
Failed to see the tears that flowed

Came to be that I'm on my side
Watch me as my masses grow


She's never done me wrong
Praying for the time that's gone
I've never done no wrong

While waking up on the dark side of dawn

Throw away the words of wisdom

Never heard her tell me lies
Culmination of fighting harder
Always on the wrong side


She's never done me wrong
Praying for the time that's gone

I've never done no wrong
While waking up on the dark side of dawn


Mata? Mata?
