Mama

She woke up every morning
Just to get us all fed
We messed at the table
But she never lost her head
She was never too tired
Or never too blue
She was never too tired
Never too blue
To be Mama
To be Mama

When trouble came to fall
She helped us find our way
When Sunday came to call
We never missed a day
She was never too tired
Or never too blue
She was never too tired
Never too blue
To be Mama
To be Mama

Her arms are still around us
I feel her every day
You know I need that feeling
Can’t let it slip away
She was never too tired
Or never too blue
She was never too tired
Never too blue
To be Mama
To be Mama

She was never too tired
Or never too blue
To be Mama
To be Mama
