Mother may I, and I would say
Yes sweet baby take it away
It won't be long
Just just remember that
Powerful is the woman in you
And she'd come to me
When fire & water was gone
To caress the empty with a song
Saying why cry for anger
That bullet the sky
Just remember
And I'll remember & mama
And I'll get by
And I know my face
Seems crazed & wild
But I got her eyes
The mama's child am I
She's blessed with grace
Is smooth as a line
And when I shade
She helps me shine
And she comes to me
When there's nothing
I believe
And holds me so high
Yes I am free
Saying why hold the anger
It won't let you fly
Just remember
And I'll remember
Cause mama
Mama and I'll get by
Confused by my own illusion
She said that it's only my pride
And even the simplest solutions
Still won't heal my mind
So I'll remember
I'll remember
And I'll get by
