[Spoken Intro]
This one is for you, Mama...
I'm far away from home,
but you are always in my heart.

[Verse 1]
Thank you, Mama, for the nine months you carried me.
Only God knows the pain you went through for me.
I grew up working on the farm,
under the hot sun from morning till dark.
Now I have left my hometown, Gurae,
searching for a better day.
Now I have left my hometown, Gurae,
searching for a better way.
I will keep on pushing, oh oh,
keep on pushing, Mama.
I will keep on trying, oh oh,
I will never give up.
[Chorus]
Keep on praying, Mama,
keep on hoping.
Keep on praying, Mama,
keep believing.
God will make a way for us someday.
God will make a way for us someday.
Keep on praying,
keep on hoping,
keep believing, Mama.
Keep on praying,
keep on hoping,
keep believing, Mama.
La la la la la la...
Oh oh oh oh oh...
[Verse 2]
We worked together on the farm
until the setting sun.
Then I looked up to the sky
and saw the dark clouds come.
Soon the rain began to fall,
God was blessing us all.
Now I have left my hometown, Gurae,
searching for a brighter day.
I will keep on pushing, oh oh,
keep on pushing, Mama.
God will make a way for us someday.
[Chorus]
Keep on praying, Mama,
keep on hoping.
Keep on praying, Mama,
keep believing.
God will make a way for us someday.
God will make a way for us someday.
Keep on praying,
keep on hoping,
keep believing, Mama.
Keep on praying,
keep on hoping,
keep believing, Mama.
La la la la la la...
Oh oh oh oh oh...
[Verse 3]
Mama, I believe in God,
our Maker above.
He can hear every prayer,
He answers with love.
He never sleeps,
He never turns away.
Sometimes the answer is slow,
but He never says no.
I'm far away,
working every day,
trying to make you and Papa proud.
Please keep praying for me,
your prayers make me strong.
When you kneel to pray,
ask God to lead my way.
When you kneel to pray,
ask God to light my way.
God will make a way for us someday.
God will make a way for us someday.
[Final Chorus]
Keep on praying, Mama,
keep on hoping.
Keep on praying, Mama,
keep believing.
God will make a way for us someday.
God will make a way for us someday.
Keep on praying,
keep on hoping,
keep believing, Mama.
Keep on praying,
keep on hoping,
keep believing, Mama.
La la la la la la...
Oh oh oh oh oh...
La la la la la la...
[Outro]
Mama...
I'm still pushing.
Don't stop praying for me.
