Mama Said
Ooh,
oh oh oh
Thank
you mama
And
to the rising sun I turn my head
I’m
thinking of all the things that mama said
Oh,
will I be ready to make it on my own?
She
said boy be careful and watch what you do
Always
be thankful, I’m telling you
Cos
you never know, one day you might have to stand-alone
She
said be independent don’t depend on no man
Take
every emotions like a grain of sand
The
road is hard but you can make it
If
you take a stand
And
I’ll never forget it
Sometimes
when I’m down
I
want to turn around (I want to turn around)
There’s
just so many things running through my head
(I
look down the road)
I
look down the road
(No
no no no no no no)
How
far can I go?
I
think of all the things that mama said
As
I thought to lay my head to rest
My
mind is working hard to digest
All
the missing pieces that she’s given to me
She
said child if you’re flying you must come down for a landing
Lean
not to your own understanding
If
you got a hunch, ha, make sure that hunch is right
She
said child walk alone if that’s what you do
But
always be open for a hand or two
If
you listen to mama, my baby, you’re gonna be alright
I’ll
never forget it
Sometimes
when I’m down (ooohh no)
I
want to turn around (no no no no)
There’s
just so many things running through my head
(Things
running through my head)
(I
look down the road)
I
look down the road
(I
I I I I)
How
far can I go?
(Been
thinking about)
I
think of all the things that mama said
The
things mama said (yeah)
No
no no no no
I
want to thank you for everything you did
Sometimes
when I am down (what would I do without you)
I
want to turn around
There’s
just so many things running through my head
I
look down the road
How
far can I go?
I
think of all the things that mama said
No
no no no no
Thank
you
I
think of all the things that mama said
