Mother may i, i would say
yes sweet baby take it away
it won't be long, just remember that
powerful is the woman in you
stay true
and she'd come to me when fire & water was gone
to caress the empty with a song
saying why cry for anger that bullets the sky
just remember i'll remember & mama
i'll get by....
i know my face seems crazed & wild
but i got her eyes
a mama's child am i
she's blessed with grace & is smooth as a line
and when i shade she helps me shine
and she comes to me when there's nothing i believe
and holds me so high yes i am free
saying why hold the anger
it won't let you fly
just remember i'll remember & mama mama
i'll get by....
confused by my own illusions
she said that it's only my pride
and even the simplest solutions
still won't heal my mind
so i'll remember
i'll remember & i'll get by
