When I was younger,
My mother would tell me
Tales of T na Nog,
The place that someday,
Sheknew thatI would go.
It was a land of eternal youth,
A land of love and joy,
And she's tell me this story each night,
Before my lullaby.
I would then close my eyes and dream,
Dream of this magical place,
Where I would be happy and content,
And feel no need to escape.
...
Today however, I wish to stay,
Here in my happy home,
Where I feel pain, anger and hurt
But I am never alone
For my mothers love is all I need
To feel eternal bliss
And nowall I ask for each night,
Is a quick bedtime kiss
