"Mama Now" lyrics

"Mama Now"

Suddenly, you came out of me
And though I tried to be I wasn't ready
Now I am afraid of the paths I've laid
Oh and all the ways this world ain't steady
I barely recognize my face
I feel I might've lost my place

But I still love to sing a sad song
So I do
In the early morning hours when I'm holding you
And the rock and roll ain't quite as loud
Cause the name I worked so hard to make
Is mama now

I use to want the things that money brings
Shiny trophies to award my mind
You've turned it all to gold, with your little hand to hold
And all the clouds are silver lined
Can I find a way to blend
The muse and mother hen

But I still love to sing a sad song
So I do
In the early morning hours when I'm holding you
And the rock and roll ain't quite as loud
Cause the name I worked so hard to make
Is mama now

I still rock and sway, I still dance and play
I still love the way the music moans
Do I miss the stage and being far away
Enough to leave my heart at home?
Will the magic still be there
And if it isn't will I care?

Cause when I wanna sing a sad song
Then I do
In the early morning hours when I'm holding you
And the rock and roll ain't quite as loud
Cause the name I worked so hard to make
Is mama now
Yes the name that means the most to me is mama now
