"Mama Said" lyrics

Walking down familiar roads
But I might as well be lost
The fairy tales and stories told
As a child, now I forgot
(Yeah, yeah)

I'm in the same old place
How quickly dreams can fade
Into the sunset (yeah, yeah)
Grown up too fast, too soon
Now I remember those
Words that she taught me

Mama said "we have to dream
'Cause it might be all we got"
Take us from forgotten streets
To a place where we belong

She could be right
Mama said, my mama, my mama said
She could be right
Mama said, my mama, my mama said

Hold the story in my hands
It's mine to recreate
Fear might still be in the plans
It's a game of love and hate
(Yeah, yeah)

I'm in a different place
How quickly things can fade
In just a moment (yeah, yeah)
Stuck in the fast lane now
Always I live by
Those words that she taught me
(Yeah, yeah)

Mama said "we have to dream
'Cause it might be all we got"
Take us from forgotten streets
To a place where we belong

She could be right
Mama said, my mama, my mama said
She could be right
Mama said, my mama, my mama said

She could be right, ooh
She could be right

Mama said "we have to dream
'Cause it might be all we got"
Take us from forgotten streets
To a place where we belong

She could be right
Mama said, my mama, my mama said
She could be right
Mama said, my mama, my mama said

Mama said, my mama, my mama said
Mama said, my mama, my mama said
Mama said, my mama, my mama said
Mama said, my mama, my mama said
