Mama

Mother of the earth

Center of my universe

My rock of gibraltar since the day of my birth

Mama

My bridge over troubled water

My Mother

My friend

And my father

I see why God chose a woman like you

To send the Saviour of the world his Son through

Mama only mamas can do the kinds of things that you can do

There’s only one you and only you can do what you can do

Like teaching me and showing me how to tie my shoe

And teaching me to recognize the colors

Red and yellow and green and blue

Mama

Thank you for wiping my nose

And for teaching me how to count on my fingers and toes

And thank you mama for cutting chickens up several different ways

Allowing us to eat chicken for about six days

You fried it grilled it boiled baked barbqued it and then we ate it

I ate so much chicken that I thought I would die

Or either like a bird grow wings and just fly

But now mama I appreciate all those delicious meals

And thank you mama for the red bike with the black training wheels

And thank you mama for disciplinary actions

And for teaching me that for every action there is a reaction

And once iit is done there can be no retraction

You’re a medicine woman with healing hands

Wiser than any teacher

Stronger than any man

And thank you mama for the encouragement

And the positive attitude

And for teaching me that my attitude will determine my latitude

Thank you mama for teaching me this valuable lesson

Stay humble baby and God will keep on blessing

And thank you mama for teaching me about God

And for you I always thank God

Thank him for you Mama

My strongest supporter and constant provider

You’re sweeter than chocolates made by godiva

And as much as you’ve been through like being tried in the fired

Even destiny’s child would agree that you are a true survivor

Mama

Mother of the earth

Center of my universe

My rock of gibraltar since the day of my birth

Mama

My bridge over troubled water

My Mother

My friendAnd my father

Mama

M-a - M-a

I wouldn’t trade you for anything

Ain’t no way

Mama

M-a - M-a

I gotta tell you

I love you each and everyday

Mama

M-a - M-a

I probably learned how to say Da Da first

But that was quickly reversed

And it still holds true to this very day

That Mama

M-a-M-a

It’s the sweetest word that I ever learned how to say

Mama

Mother of the earth

Center of my universe

My rock of gibraltar since the day of my birth

Mama

My bridge over troubled water

My Mother

My friend

And my father
