lyrics

Mama

My mama raised me up to believe that I am strong
and she raised me up to understand right from wrong
when the day is over and the night can seem so long
she helps me find the strength to carry on

my daddy raised me up to see the beauty in the sky
and he raised me up to never fear asking why
when I stand beside him I feel the wisdom of the years
running through my veins beside his

and now I rock my babes sweetly in my arms
I drink in the pleasures of the journey that I’m on
is this how they felt when I was small?
why does it take so long to know that we have it all?

we raise our children up to believe that they are strong
and they raise us up to show us right from wrong
when the day is over and night can seem so long
we stand together and we are strong – we are strong

we spend a lot of time looking for happiness
when we don’t have to look that far

[mama raised me, mama knows I am strong
mama raised me, mama knows I belong]
