Mama sometimes I feel inside

There¹s nothing I can say

Nothing I can do

Could ever match the love you gave

You taught me how to live

Told me walk before you run

And you were always there

To pick me up

Everytime I¹d have a fall



And mama I know there¹s been times

When I didn¹t always understand

By and by we do some growing up

And it makes just a little more sense

But sometimes it¹s hard to find the words

But I¹ll do the best that I can

Thank you for the love mama

It¹s what made this boy a man



I know the roads been long

And I know you¹ve seen some rain

Makin the best of what we had

I never heard you complain

When I look in the mirror today

Wondering could I be as strong

Could I give as much to someone else

As you gave to your son



And mama I know there¹s been times

When we didn¹t see eye to eye

By and by we do some growing up

And we understand the reasons why

But sometimes it¹s hard to find the words

But I¹ll do the best that I can

Thank you for the love mama

It¹s what made this boy a man yea



Many years have gone by

And I¹ve been living them

The best I can



Mama I know there¹s been times

When I didn¹t always understand

By and by we do some growing up

And it makes just a little more sense

But sometimes it¹s hard to find the words

But I¹ll do the best that I can

Thank you for the love mama

It¹s what made this boy a man
