Momma told me that I should remember Where I come from When I'm going Keep your hands off your ears so you can listen Keep your eyes steady when you're looking Don't go turning your back on your brothers Just cause your brothers don't look like you Lend your ear to the ones with less fortunes We're not given, what you've been given Tell the truth when the truth is the hardest Is the hardest thing to do Don't forget all the places you've traveled All the faces, friendly faces Keep them close to your heart when you're leaving Show all the others what joy they bring Grab the stars as they come down to greet you Grab the moonlight as it comes down to meet you And swim the rivers that you've loved when you were younger May your dreams be as clear as the water Kindness flows like your great grandmothers blanket Every stitch brings you closer to [?] So don't give up on your hopes for the future Someday soon change will come
