Mama you raised me to be patient and be kind
Never start no trouble keep the devil off my mind
As I've grown I've found this peace is hard to find
C
With a mind like raging water and a heart that's never satisfied
G. D
But I still try
I believe that's there's a time to be afraid
Buts it's a sin to sit and wallow
And let a good life slip away
It's time to be a man and push aside your pain
Is what i whispered to myself the day we laid those roses on your grave
But momma I'm still afraid
Oh I still miss the hands that held me at night
And the voice that I heard in the morn
The song that you sang fore you turned out the light
Got this cold house feeling warm
Oh how I wish you'd stayed a while
Mama am I still your golden child?
Ohhh ohhh
Tell me I'm still your golden child
Father told us things would never be the same
That we needed to be strong and never forget where we came
After all these years
The emptiness remains
It gets harder to remember
The sound of your voice calling my name
Father I'm losing strength
