Mama's Words

MAMA’S WORDS


verse 1: i wasn’t much more than a girl
trying to make my way in this big world
i looked to mama to tell me
my destiny

i remember what she said to me
“you’ll be anything you want to be”
i recall mama’s words

chorus: she said fly like a dove
let the wind lift you up
let your heart fly above

when things get tough
baby don’t you give up
fly like a dove


verse 2: mama worked so hard and sacrificed
made a home for us and kept it nice
she would say “now baby don’t think twice
mama’s here”
when ever i get turned around
or somebody’s trying to keep me down
i recall mama’s words


chorus: she said fly like a dove...


bridge: mama said “now baby don’t grow up too soon
you should shine just like the stars at night
and dance beneath the moon”

mama didn’t give me a silverspoon
she gave me something much more
my mama gave me love
she gave me love

she said fly like a dove
just like a dove
on the wings of my love
