Mother may I, I would say
Yes sweet baby take it away
It won't be long
Just remember that
Powerful is the woman in you
stay true
& she'd come to me
when fire & water was gone
to caress the empty with a song
Saying why cry for anger
that bullets the sky
just remember
I'll remember & mama
I'll get by
I know my face
seems crazed & wild
but I got her eyes
a mama's child am I
She's blessed with grace
& is smooth as a line
& when I shade
she helps me shine
& she comes to me
when there's nothing
I believe & holds me so high
yes I am free
saying why hold the anger
it won't let you fly
just remember
I'll remember
& mama mama I'll get by
Confused by my own illusions
she said that it's only my pride
& even the simplest solutions
still won't heal my mind
So I'll remember
I'll remember
& I'll get by
