I spent this new year in the hospital with my mum. It’s been many years since I donated my liver to her. It’s a blessing that she has lived for so long since the transplant. I remember the whole process it as if it were yesterday.
I’ve decided to start 2026 with another song dedicated to my mum. Last year (which was only 2 days ago), lots of things happened… including myself healing from a fractured ankle for over half a year, which stopped me from going for my K-pop dance classes. So this time, this song is also a tribute to my love for K-pop. Generated using the AI music generator Udio and a prompt that describes my lived experience, I dedicate this song to you – Mom.
[Verse]
In the silence, my heart races fast,
Fear grips tight, uncertain shadows cast.
Mom, you've always been my light, so true,
When night falls heavy, I know what to do.
[Chorus]
넌 내 힘이야 [neon nae him-iya] (You're my strength), every beat, every breath,
Through the pain, I’ll face what lies ahead,
When the world feels dark, I'll hold you near,
With love so deep, I'll conquer every fear.
[Verse]
Found the courage, through the tears that flow,
A piece of me, I’ll give; I hope you know.
In the operating room, I hear the call,
You’re my heart’s anchor, won't let you fall.
[Chorus]
넌 내 힘이야 [neon nae him-iya] (You're my strength), every beat, every breath,
Through the pain, I’ll face what lies ahead,
When the world feels dark, I'll hold you near,
With love so deep, I'll conquer every fear.
[Bridge]
And as the clock ticks down, my hope ignites,
You’re a fighter, mom, let’s win in this fight.
Whispers of love, in every prayer said,
In this journey of ours, we’ll forge ahead.
[Chorus]
넌 내 힘이야 [neon nae him-iya] (You're my strength), every beat, every breath,
Through the pain, I’ll face what lies ahead,
When the world feels dark, I'll hold you near,
With love so deep, I'll conquer every fear.
