A daughter explains to her beloved mother why she must risk her life to appeal for Falun Dafa. With no other channels to seek justice, thousands of practitioners have traveled to Tiananmen Square only to say, "Falun Dafa is good. Please stop persecuting us." Whether calling out these words, holding a banner, or silently practicing the exercises on Tiananmen Square, the result is often imprisonment, beatings, torture, and sometimes death, simply for upholding one's belief.



Lyrics:



Mama tomorrow I'm leaving home

For Dafa's name, I feel that I must go

It pains my heart to see your black hair turn gray

I know you worry that theyíll take me away



[Sung in Chinese]



Mama, please don't you worry for me

Truth has been safeguarded since antiquity

Dafa has taught me to seek Zhen-Shan-Ren [Truth-Compassion-Forbearance]

Now I'm prepared to face the storms ahead



Mama, please listen to these words of mine

Fame, wealth, and gain I have left behind

All I desire is a heart pure and bright

Why fear the cold winds on a stormy night?



Mama, you raised me to speak the truth

And think of others in all that I do

When you see the plum blossoms announcing spring

Mama, I hope you will be proud of me

Mama, I hope you will be proud of me
