Lyrics

Mama's Boy

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.

How will your garden ever bear fruit

If you never take time to nurture the roots its

Easy to overstand,

You got no future plans

Your arms are scrawny and your skin is pale,

You got no dirt under your fingernails,

You got a lot to learn,

But you got money to burn

Mama's boy, daddy's little girl,

Cut of the umbilical get out into the world you've been

Hanging on too long little darling

I think its about time for you to spread your own wings

And you'll find that in time you'll be fine once you learn a few things

You have longed for this song for so long now its your turn to sing

And you'll know that you've grown once your own wings

Have flown and you'll find a new home

That you can call your own but your never gonna know

If you never go and sew your seeds and become whole

No you're never gonna fly if you never try to reach the heights

Mama's boy, daddy's little girl,

Cut of the umbilical get out into the world you'll see

Things that you never dreamed of step out

In the world and you might even find love

Mama's boy, daddy's little girl,

Cut off the umbilical get out into the world you'll see

Things you never knew existed the world was passing

By and all this time you missed it

And if you're afraid just to make a mistake,

Well rewards only come out of chances you take

So break free from the mold stop doing just as your told,

Out beyond the end you might make a few new friends

And if you are lost and you can't find your way,

Your tongue is all tied you can't find the words to say

Look into your bones the truth is etched there in stone

It has always been waiting for your heart to be awakened

And you'll return, standing firm in all you've

Learned, ready to be a teacher

You have longed for this song for so long

Now its your turn to be the singer

And your voice will carry, echo through the valleys

Like a trumpet set free in three part harmony,

If you really wanna see what there is to see,

Fulfill your destiny, unfold the mysteries,

Then step into the wild blue,

Take a look inside you, set yourself free

How will your garden ever bear fruit

If you never take time to nurture the roots its

Easy to overstand, you got no future plans

Your arms are scrawny and your skin is pale,

You got no dirt under your fingernails,

You got a lot to learn, but you got money to burn

Mama's boy, daddy's little girl,

Cut of the umbilical get out into the world

You'll never learn to pick yourself up if you never fall,

So cut off the umbilical
