when i woke up, when i opened up my eyes

drinking the sun without blinking

and when i reached out, when i reached out for a sign

holding a gun without sinking

(ooh, it was a fine feeling, ooh, it was a mighty fine feeling)

then i thought about the younger days

when i was looking for a friend

thought about the way my mama would carry me to the end



Chorus: Oh mama, will you carry me again

               my eyes are blind without my mama



when i looked up, when i focused on the sky

touching its heart but not stinging

and then i took it and i realized it might

shake like a bell without ringing

(ohh, it was a fine feeling, ohh, it was a mighty fine feeling)

then i thought about the younger days

when i had no-one to fight

thought about the way my mama would carry me through the night



Chorus:solo: Chorus: ENDS...
