(A lone voice sings)
Hosanna
Hosanna
There's a dark hole
In the middle of my soul
And my beloved mother
Still lives in there
And I carry her
Around
Everywhere
I go
Hosanna
Hosanna
She climbs out at midnight
When sleep
I can no longer
Fight
Hosanna
Hosanna
And sits on my chest
Dressed in her Sunday best
Always
Hidden right out of sight
Hosanna
Hosanna
Whispering
Strange spells
That bind me
In total bondage
To an old age
When she once lived
Hosanna
Hosanna
And we were so happy
Together
Especially at Christmas
When life
Still
Had so much to give
Hosanna
Hosanna
But now she's died
And instead of saying
Goodbye
And sending her crying
To The Dark Lands
Of No Sound
Where I'll forever
Miss her
Hosanna
Hosanna
Lost in a fissure
In time
Where the Black Nightingales
Fly
I just carry her
Around
Now
In a dark hole
In the middle of my soul
A beautiful place
Painted
With memories
And home
To a stunning spirit
I've always known
Hosanna
Hosanna
My mother
Who I'll carry around
Until the end of my time
And when I'm called
To The Dark Lands
Of No Sound
She can climb out
My soul
Hosanna
Hosanna
So we can run around
Hand in hand
Singing songs of happiness
Filled with
Hosanna
Hosanna
To break the silence
To echo into eternity
All over
Those sacred grounds
As we wait for
Strength
Reassurance
And his holy spiritual
Guidance
Singing
Forever
Forever
Forever
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna
