Lyrics - The Call

🎵 The Call

Khmer Style

"A deeply personal journey of regret, sacrifice, and rediscovery, sparked by one life-changing phone call."

At twenty-five, I built a new road, Long hours, low pay, but I carried the load. Served their tables, learned their ways, But my heart was lost in endless days. Smiles were fake, laughs ran dry, Each shift passed like a stranger’s sigh. I told myself, this is how it’s done? But deep inside, I felt like none. Then one night, the silence broke, A voice I knew, a trembling tone. "She’s in the hospital, she’s not okay," And suddenly, I lost my way. ម៉ែត្រូវការវះកាត់បេះដូង (Mae needs heart surgery) So I packed my bags, left it behind, What is life if love is blind? Years were wasted, miles apart, Now I return with an open heart. I should’ve known, I should’ve stayed, Time’s too cruel, it slips away. Now I stand by her side, Hoping I made it back in time. The home I left still smelled the same, My mother weak, but called my name. I saw the lines across her hands, Each one a story I now understand. She smiled through pain, and held me close, Her love, the thing I needed most. She said no words, but I could see, That love had always waited for me.
