You came into this world
A defenseless child
I knew I would protect you
Like a lion in the wild
Oh, yeah, like a lion in the wild

One thing you can count on
Big as the sky above
Mama’s love
Mama’s love
You crawl before you walk
You walk before you run

Sometimes you fall, sometimes you fly
You’re not the only one
Oh no, you’re not the only one
One thing you can count on
Big as the sky above
Mama’s love
Mama’s love

When your troubles never end
And the friends that you depend on disappear
When the solid ground is shakin’
And your broken heart is achin’
I’m here

You’re looking for your way
And every day it changes
Some days you’re right on top
And then it rearranges
Oh, yeah, every day it changes
One thing you can count on
Big as the sky above

Mama’s love
Mama’s love
When your troubles never end
And the friends that you depend on disappear
When the solid ground is shakin’
And your broken heart is achin’
I’m here, I’m here

You came into this world
A defenseless child
I knew I would protect you
Like a lion in the wild
Oh, yeah, like a lion in the wild

One thing you can count on
Big as the sky above
One thing you can count on
Is your mama’s love
Mama’s love
Mama’s love
