Mother may i, I would say Yes sweet baby take it away It won't be long Just remember that Powerful is the woman in you Stay true& she'd come to me When fire & water was gone To caress the empty with a song Saying why cry for anger That bullets the sky Just remember I'll remember & mama I'll get by I know my face Seems crazed & wild But I got her eyes A mama's child am i She's blessed with grace& is smooth as a line& when I shadeShe helps me shine& she comes to me When there's nothing I believe & holds me so high Yes I am free Saying why hold the anger It won't let you fly Just remember I'll remember& mama mama I'll get by Confused by my own illusions She said that it's only my pride& even the simplest solutions Still won't heal my mind So I'll remember I'll remember& I'll get by
