[Verse 1]
My name is Ambrosia, I take care of mother
I won't go to bed 'til I know that she's alright
Pancakes for breakfast, ice cream for dinner
She says to live every day like it's the best days of our lives

The doctors are calling; we just let it ring, now
And Mama just laughs, like a kid on a Sunday drive, saying
"Doctor, I do believe I'll smoke cigars like a dying queen
You know, I gotta live every day like it's the best day of my life."

[Chorus]
'Cause we got the same roof over our heads
They say we are blessed, they say we are blessed
Got our whole lives just up ahead
Don't know that yet, we don't know that yet
Got the same roof over our heads
Got the same blood, we got the same hands
Got our whole lives just up ahead
We don't know that yet, we don't know that yet

[Verse 2]
My brother's a dealer, he sells on the corner
He always comes home when he smells her rhubarb pie
Now Mom's hands are shaking, so I do the baking
She counts out her pills, clears her throat for one last time, saying

"My dearest children, this is no sermon
May you never take for granted all that you are
'Cause I may be passing, but you're still my champions
We gotta live every day, every day like it's the best days of our lives."

[Chorus]
'Cause we got the same roof over our heads
They say we are blessed, they say we are blessed
Got our whole lives just up ahead
Don't know that yet, we don't know that yet
Got the same roof over our heads
Got the same blood, we got the same hands
Got our whole lives just up ahead
Don't know that yet, we don't know that yet

Got the same roof over our heads
They say we are blessed, they say we are blessed
Got our whole lives just up ahead
Don't know that yet, we don't know that yet
Got the same roof over our heads
Got the same blood, we got the same hands
Got our whole lives just up ahead
We don't know that yet

[Outro]
We don't know that yet
We don't know that yet
We don't know that yet
We don't know that yet
