Mama & Papa

I have prayed I have prayed to your god When I pray I found your god or so I thought He told me, "Let go, he will never come home" So I've been runnin', I've been runnin', I've been runnin' on my own Mama, mama, when I was born Where was daddy, and why did he go? Was he no good to you, mama? Did he have a different agenda? Oh Mama, mama, do we look alike? Do you see him when I squeeze my eyes? What does it do to you, mama? Do I remind you of papa? Oh Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Every time you're done prayin' You've got much stronger than me Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa I had my face in the dirt When you were goin' to church When you were goin' to church I have sinned I have sinned to your god And when I sin I found my god or so I thought I had to let go, I don't wanna go home And I keep runnin', keep runnin', keep runnin' on my own Mama, mama, when I was born Where was daddy, and why did he go? Was he no good to you, mama? Did he have a different agenda? Oh Mama, mama, do we look alike? Do you see him when I squeeze my eyes? What does it do to you, mama? Do I remind you of papa?
