Mama

verse

Here in the quiet and still

I can hear your voice

Whispering memories

That fills me up with joy

I feel you beside me

Every step I take

And I can still see your smile

It lightens my way

In the night

If I am lonely

Your words are warm

And they console me

I know your arms are wrapped around me

You gave me life

You send me love

Chorus

Mamma

I’ll always remember the things that you taught me

The lessons of life

That I live by, and breath by,

My whole life, my one drive

Is to become somebody

But not just anybody

Got to become somebody.

I’ll always remember the things that you taught me

The lessons of life

That I live by, and breath by,

My whole life, my one drive

Is to become somebody

But not just anybody

Got to become somebody.

(Ohh, become somebody yeah)

Verse

I still remember you humming that sultry blues

Like Billie Holiday was singing just for you.

It’s moments like this

That time can never erase

No, this memory is so sentimental

I thank you for the way you raised me

You made me who I am and will be

You gave me everything

Because you gave me love

And that’s the reason why I can’t give up

Bridge

Cause I know that you could see yourself in me

And any time I need you

You show me how to get through

I feel your love around me

And I know I’m still your baby

Chorus

I’ll always remember the things that you taught me

The lessons of life

That I live by, and breath by,

My whole life, my one drive

Is to become somebody

But not just anybody

Got to become somebody.

I’ll always remember the things that you taught me

The lessons of life

That I live by, and breath by,

My whole life, my one drive

Is to become somebody

But not just anybody

Got to become somebody.

(Oooo, become somebody yeah mama)

(Become somebody)

(Become somebody yeah mama)
