Lyrics
Mama Proud
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you lose a part of your heart
Does it make room for something new?
Does it scar? And where does it run off to?
A part of your heart apart from you
Was my cup so full I thought it was empty?
Oh my God, had a dream about going blind
See me selfish, see me unkind
I have made a big decision
And it won't make my mama proud
Be assured I am not running
But even still, I can let her down
I can let her down
I'd like to avoid seeing a picture of your hand
'Cause in a picture of your hand, I see my old home
Do you believe in God, fate, luck or chance?
Or are we not supposed to know?
It's a dance, it's a dance
It's a dance, it's a dance
Was my cup so full I thought it was empty?
Oh my God, had a dream about going blind
See me selfish, see me unkind
I have made a big decision
And it won't make my mama proud
Be assured I am not running
But even still, I can let her down
I can let her down
