"Mama" lyrics

Here in the quiet and still
I can hear your voice
Whispering memories
That fills me up with joy
I feel you beside me
Every step I take
And I can still see your smile
It lightens my way

In the night
If I am lonely
Your words are warm
And they console me
I know your arms are wrapped around me
You gave me life
You send me love

Mamma
I'll always remember the things that you taught me
The lessons of life
That I live by, and breath by
My whole life, my one drive
Is to become somebody
But not just anybody
Got to become somebody

I'll always remember the things that you taught me
The lessons of life
That I live by, and breath by
My whole life, my one drive
Is to become somebody
But not just anybody
Got to become somebody
(Ohh, become somebody yeah)

I still remember you humming that sultry blues
Like Billie Holiday was singing just for you
It's moments like this
That time can never erase
No, this memory is so sentimental

I thank you for the way you raised me
You made me who I am and will be
You gave me everything
Because you gave me love
And that's the reason why I can't give up

Cause I know that you could see yourself in me
And any time I need you
You show me how to get through
I feel your love around me
And I know I'm still your baby

I'll always remember the things that you taught me
The lessons of life
That I live by, and breath by
My whole life, my one drive
Is to become somebody
But not just anybody
Got to become somebody

I'll always remember the things that you taught me
The lessons of life
That I live by, and breath by
My whole life, my one drive
Is to become somebody
But not just anybody
Got to become somebody

(Oooo, become somebody yeah mama)
(Become somebody)
(Become somebody yeah mama)
