Mother may I and 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

And she'd come to me when fire and 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 and wild
But I got her eyes a mama's child am I
She's blessed with grace and is smooth as a line
And when I shade she helps me shine

And she comes to me when there's nothing I believe

And holds me so high yes I am free
Saying why hold the anger it won't let you fly
Just remember I'll remember
'Cause mama mama I'll get by

Confused by my own illusions
She said that it's only my pride
And even the simplest solutions
Still won't heal my mind

So I'll remember
I'll remember
And I'll get by
