I said, I heard my mother
She was praying (praying - praying - praying); yeah, and I
And the words that she said (the words that she said),
They still-a lingers in my head (lingers in my head)

When we're wrong, please correct us
(when we're wrong, correct us),
And stand by me," yeah!

Mmm. I said, I heard my mother
She was cryin' (I heard her cryin'), yeah! (cryin', cryin')
And the tears that she shed (the tears that she shed),
They still lingers in my head (lingers in my head)
She said: "A child is born in this world,
He needs protection.
O-oh, mmm
God, guide and protect us
When we're wrong (when we're wrong), correct us." O-oh.
And in high seas or low seas,
