She said she loves you and your brother from birth
She leaves for heaven but these words stay on earth
These days, you don't get used to the kitchen's quietness
Cause after all, she has been around for twenty six years

A woman forced with a strong heart after being alone
The two small hands turned rough to build you a home
Too bad we couldn't sing her at the room she once roamed
But I'm sure she would look from heaven and listen to this song

It didn't took us long to notice that something was wrong
When everyone's around and yet he still seems so alone...

We'll be waiting for you at the other side of the rose-colored glass
Nothing happens too slow and nothing comes too fast
Like all brothers walked side by side, together no one will be last
If you can't see any, we'll be your rose-colored glass

I can still remember her smile when she cooked us a meal
You smile when you're happy, we don't need no pills
Take your mother's hand, you know there's no more ordeals
Just to see the two of you grown, everything has healed

Tell Benny we'll be here too, there's no need to run
This very moment, she might be looking at the same sun
Feels like she's saying thank you for taking care of her son
Well, we said thank you and your son for taking care of us

It didn't took us long to notice that something was wrong
When he jumped and danced like that's mistakes to atone...

We'll be waiting for you at the other side of the rose-colored glass
Maybe our hands don't reach enough but the heart does
Like all brothers stand side by side, we believe and we trust
If you can't find any, we can be your rose-colored glass
Yeah, the rose-colored glass...
Yeah, let both your eyes see through...
Let us be your rose-colored glass...

I can still remember her smile when she cooked us a meal
Just to see the two of you grown, she knew everything has healed
