Mama always told me, “Child, a little dab'll do ya
Get you through it, that'll do it”
She said, “Just a little faith is all it takes to prove it
That'll do it, that'll do it”

All this time been reaching for the sky
Still won't compromise, no, no, no
What's the price? I'll make the sacrifice
I'm reaching for the prize, yeah, yeah

Everyone won't always understand the why
Behind the passion that I feel inside
My mama always used to tell me, yeah
To keep moving forward
And don't ever look back, don't look back

And when your faith is growing weary
Trust and you'll see
All your dreams come true

Mama always told me, “Child, a little dab'll do ya
Get you through it, that'll do it”
She said, “Just a little faith is all it takes to prove it
That'll do it, that'll do it”

Come what may, I am here to stay
Never run away, no, no
I can say that when I kneel to pray
This courage for each day, oh yes, there is, oh, oh

Looking to the future through the eyes of faith
We'll only try and get the best of me, oh, oh
Mama said, “You just can't let it happen
You've gone too far and you can't turn back
You can never turn back”

Even though it's just a little further, I can tell ya
It's much closer than you know
Closer than you know

Mama always told me, “Child, a little dab'll do ya
Get you through it, that'll do it”
She said, “Just a little faith is all it takes to prove it
That'll do it, that'll do it”

Mama always told me, “Child, a little dab'll do ya
Get you through it, that'll do it”
She said, “Just a little faith is all it takes to prove it
That'll do it, that'll do it”

Get up, gotta keep your head up
The rest are getting fed up
So pick yourself up off the ground
It's gonna come around, you know you're only coming

Get up, it's gonna get better
So keep your head up
Off the ground, it's gonna come around
You betta keep reaching

Get up, gotta keep your head up
The rest are getting fed up
So pick yourself up off the ground
It's gonna come around, you know you're only coming

Get up, it's gonna get better
So keep your head up
Off the ground, it's gonna come around

Yeah, mama always told me, “Child, a little dab'll do ya
Get you through it, that'll do it”
She said, “Just a little faith is all it takes to prove it
That'll do it, that'll do it”
