Mama Songtext
von moonstone.

These aren′t just fires on the television
Something real is burning to satisfy division
It's hard to hear the quiet no matter how I listen
The voice I wanna hear is the one that I′m missin'

Oh, mama
I know how you feel by heart
It's embedded
I know you bought the book on the art of the deal
But never read it
I know you′ve heard the truth a thousand times
But can′t recall who said it
I just want to talk is all
And not regret it


Let's leave our stones at the steps of the house
Not let our judgement get ahead of our mouths
Let′s have a seat inside and find some common ground
And at the end of it all
I can tell you I love you
Oh, how heavy it weighs
To not tell you I love you

I bet you didn't know I cried
When I left for college
I still carry you and daddy′s faces
In daddy's old wallet
And when he died I worried sick
That you would follow
It′s been on my mind and as I write
I feel so hollow
So tell me how you keep your marigolds bright
And where to plant them
Do you still watch "The Wheel" every night
And shout the answers?
How do you always get the gravy right?
It's hard to master
Are you stayin' up to date with Dr. Wright
About the cancer?


Let′s leave our stones at the steps of the house
Not let our judgement get ahead of our mouths
Let′s have a seat inside and find some common ground
And at the end of it all
I can tell you I love you
Oh, how heavy it weighs
To not tell you I love you

Sticks and stones have exposed our fragile bones
But mama, I can't heal without you
I know there′s a narrow path leading to open roads
But mama, I can't walk without you
Mama, I love you
Mama, I love you
