Dear Mama
Every word that keeps my smile alive,
You were always there to set me free,
Cause' you're there and even though I'm blind,
You can clear my eyes again to see.
Thanking God for all you are and been,
And for everything you did to me,
Now I need your smile to stay alive,
Can't you see
Oh dear mama, I need you, need your arms,
Oh dear mama, you’re my defense.
Oh dear mama, I can’t breathe think you’d might fly
up,
Oh dear mama, don’t you leave me…
