Onward Pilgrim - Mama I'm Big! Lyrics

One day down on the streets of New York
There's a lot of interesting people sitting there
There's a little girl she listens to the radio while her friends with the jump rope play
Her mama comes up to her and with a tear in her eye
She looks at her baby girl and she starts to cry
And the little girl says
She says mama I'm big and this world is so small
But it's such a rush I could get lost in it all

She looks at her mama and peers in her eyes
She stares for a moment then whispers goodbye
There's lots of interesting titles and some jobs that will pay
And with some kind of luck you might get one one day
There's ice cream men and farmers
Politicians and bank robbers
School teachers and doctors
And lots of other kind of scholars
There are people that will greet you
And some people that will treat you
There are people that will hate your guts and then say pleased to meet you
She says mom I'm big and this world is so small
It's such a rush I could get lost in at all

She looks back at her mama
And with a cute little smile
She says I'm not going anywhere at least not for a while
As long as I'm your mama and you're my baby girl there is anything else
I wouldn't do in this world
And she says mama I'm big and this world is so small but it's such a rush
I could get lost in it all
