Mother may I and 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 and 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 and wild But I got her eyes a mama's child am I She's blessed with grace and 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 'Cause 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
