Call me a fool for thinkin' maybe I could get over
Or I could be stronger
Than the fear in my mind
See mama always told me I was meant to be alive
In the darkness
But I feel like a candle waiting for a flame
And she said
"Keep on getting stronger, keep on getting wiser, my dear
Don't give in to the voices or succumb to your fears"
Oh mama, I pray, oh I pray that I'll stay strong
Oh mama, I pray, oh I pray that I'll stay strong
Mm-mm
But do you see me all low when I look to you for an answer?
I need you to tell me how to carry on
And he said
"Keep on getting stronger, keep on getting wiser my dear
Don't give in to the voices or succumb to your fears"
Oh mama, I pray, oh I pray that I'll strong (help me stay strong)
Oh mama, I pray, I pray that I'll stay strong (help me stay strong)
Show me now if I've lost my way
I reach for freedom from within my cage
Search for meaning whenever I'm afraid
Oh mama, I pray, oh I pray that I'll strong (help me stay strong)
Oh mama, I pray, oh I pray that I'll stay strong (help me stay strong)
Oh mama, I pray, oh I pray that I'll stay strong (help me stay strong)
Oh mama, I pray, oh I pray that I'll stay strong
