Momma I've been working all day long
Can't find a place to rest my head
My back is aching, fingers wearing down to the bone
Is it all for nothing?
Yes its all for nothing
I want to go so I give it up to the one who knows my name
Another day at the reigns is mental pain and I will scream
The same thing every day is driving me to go insane
Only one can grant your freedom someday
Momma I've been slaving all day long
Can't tell which way is up or down
I'm crying out for the Lord to rain some grace from above
And it starts raining
I want to know which way that Im to turn
I give it up to the one who knows my name so i can learn
Praying for my God to tell me how
To keep moving on when life is getting you so down
I want to know which way that !m to turn
I give it up to the one who knows my name
