Mama said to me hold on
You gotta be wise, hold on
Momentary dreams can be gold
Or water thru your fingers
You can't hold
Baby hold on to the things that you love
Show me who it is that you are
Never let that feeling go
Let it show
Mama said to me stay bold
No matter what they tell you girl, stay bold
Everyone that seems alright
Has a soul that's hurting,
Deep inside
Hold on to the things that you love
Tell me who it is that you are
Never let that feeling go
Let it show
Mama said to be hold on
You gotta be wise, hold on
Momentary dreams can be gold
Or water thru your fingers
You can't hold
