Mama

When I walked around alone

Kids would point and stare

'They're not worth it' you would say

As you brushed my hair

They might not take me seriously

I could not depend

Perfect kids with angelic faces

I could not content

'One day you'll make them see'

'One day you'll make them sorry'

'For everything that you are now'

'They will never be'

When you're there to defend

Theres no need to pretend

These broken wings can fly again

People talk the talk about

But they don't know me

Like you know me

Mama watch me go

You help me understand

And now I'm reaching my potential

When you stand by me

I'm what I can be

All I know is the world is going to be dark without you

Ooooo

Struggling with confidence

Battling back the tears

You got the monkey off my back

That held on all those years

When you're there to defend

There's no need to pretend

These broken wings can fly again

People talk the talk about

As if they know me

Like you know me

Mama watch me go

You help me understand

And now I'm reaching my potential

When you stand by me

I'm what I can be

All I know is the world is going to be dark without you

Mama watch me go

You help me understand

And now I'm reaching my potential

When you stand by me

I'm what I can be

All I know is the world is going to be dark without you
