Instead (1991)

Instead (1991, Brussels)

Instead of having met her
I imagine what could have happened
I make my own movie and
everything seems possible
In the space of reality

My mother, the one from over there
I’ll probably never see her
I’ll probably never meet her
She’s alive in my spirit

Is it enough for me?
It’s enough for me to believe
I’ll be in the same room
Maybe without knowing
Maybe without her knowing
