Dear Mama,
you work hard,
I was trying my best
Sometimes I wonder,
do you get enough rest
Your laughter's a river and
it rains when you're hurt
You know I could never say a bad word
Baby, I love you, what you mean to me
The goddess inside you
used to make us all free
Thinking of everyone so patient and kind
You laugh a little too loud when you
drink too much wine
Your mama, sweet baby,
let's take it to the end
After we get there, let's take it again
Your mama, kind mama,
you make me want you so much
Your hands hold the world and
they're as light as your toes
You never stop movin'
except when you sleep
Even time stands aside still you
move and you think
Somethin' burnin' in the kitchen
in the ring of your phone
Someone always needin' something,
where is it?
You struggle with things
that there's no one to blame
You get it all done and you never complain
Time never takes time
when it runs right by you
Not a word could explain all
the things that you do
Hey mama, sweet baby,
let's take it to the end
And after we get there, let's do it again
Dear mama, come on,
we really want you so much
Your hands hold the world and they're as
light as your tongue
You're a woman, a friend,
on a world of a mission
Making plans, having dreams,
you're talking, you're listening
The world is absurd, it's too much of a time
I sometimes think, baby,
you were born with four minds
A smile is a pearl that's meant to your soul
A jubble and plan to get us
out from the hole
Crazy wildfire, I was smolders inside
You make it look so easy,
like you don't even try
Dear
Mama, sweet baby,
let's ride it to the end
And after we get there,
let's ride there again
Dear
Mama, kind
Mama, you make me love you so much
Your hands hold the world in as light as your
touch
The realm of the womb,
I'll never understand
Where a woman transcends
both a woman and
man
Nature's a force that can skids on a level
With the wisdom of
Joe, maybe old as a devil
I'll be thinking of you at the end of the day
In an estranged town when
the night's on its way
I'll follow your smile on a wide open road
I see thousands of streets,
just take me to home
Dear mama, sweet baby,
let's take it to the end
And after we get there, let's take it all
Dear mama, kind mama,
you make me want you so much
Your hands hold the world,
and there's not a touch
You can't hold the world when it's lighted you
can't
you
