Mama

Beth Hart · Live At Paradiso [2005]

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 stay true now



And she'd come to me

When fire and 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

And mama and I'll get by



And I know my face

Seems crazed and 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.
