Mama

I close my eyes and talk to you, mama
What you said did get through, yeah mama
I should have listened closer to you, mama
But know my heart it is always with you

This world is hard I’ve heard it said
You work so hard just to end up dead
But in dying life becomes born instead
In your heart not in your head

Every machine will soon run out of gas
Things built well they don’t long last
So don’t attach yourself to the past
Lend your thoughts to that which lasts

I close my eyes and talk to you, mama
