Mama sometimes I feel inside
There¹s nothing I can say
Nothing I can do
Could ever match the love you gave
You taught me how to live
Told me walk before you run
And you were always there
To pick me up
Everytime I¹d have a fall
And mama I know there¹s been times
When I didn¹t always understand
By and by we do some growing up
And it makes just a little more sense
But sometimes it¹s hard to find the words
But I¹ll do the best that I can
Thank you for the love mama
It¹s what made this boy a man
I know the roads been long
And I know you¹ve seen some rain
Makin the best of what we had
I never heard you complain
When I look in the mirror today
Wondering could I be as strong
Could I give as much to someone else
As you gave to your son
And mama I know there¹s been times
When we didn¹t see eye to eye
By and by we do some growing up
And we understand the reasons why
But sometimes it¹s hard to find the words
But I¹ll do the best that I can
Thank you for the love mama
It¹s what made this boy a man yea
Many years have gone by
And I¹ve been living them
The best I can
Mama I know there¹s been times
When I didn¹t always understand
By and by we do some growing up
And it makes just a little more sense
But sometimes it¹s hard to find the words
But I¹ll do the best that I can
Thank you for the love mama
It¹s what made this boy a man
