Mama's Song

[Verse]
Mama you were always the one
My lighthouse shining when the storm begun
You held my hand
Wiped my tears away
In your arms
I found my safe place to stay
[Chorus]
Mama you lead me to Jesus
My guide
My best friend
My protector
By my side
I wouldn’t trade you for any other mother
No
Not for the world
Not for another
[Verse 2]
Now the clock ticks loud
The room turns gray
Your time is slipping
Like a dream fades away
I’m lost in the echoes of what used to be
A child again
But the world’s haunting me
[Chorus]
Mama you lead me to Jesus
My guide
My best friend
My protector
By my side
I wouldn’t trade you for any other mother
No
Not for the world
Not for another
[Bridge]
I’m praying to heaven
Don’t take her yet
Her laugh
Her love
I can’t forget
If I could
I’d fight time
Make it bend
But all I can do is love you till the end
[Chorus]
Mama you lead me to Jesus
My guide
My best friend
My protector
By my side
I wouldn’t trade you for any other mother
No
Not for the world
Not for another
