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
& 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
& when I shade
She helps me shine
& she comes to me
When there's nothing
I believe & 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
& even the simplest solutions
Still won't heal my mind
So I'll remember
I'll remember
& I'll get by
