Coming Of Age Mama Said
ooh, oh oh oh
Thank you mama
And to the rising sun i turn my head
I'm thinking of all the things that mama said
Oh, will i be ready to make it on my own?
She said boy be careful and watch what you do
Always be thankful, i'm telling you
Cos you never know, one day you might have to stand-
alone
She said be independent don't depend on no man
Take every emotions like a grain of sand
The road is hard but you can make it
If you take a stand
And i'll never forget it
(Chorus)
Sometimes when i'm down
I want to turn around (i want to turn around)
There's just so many things running through my head
(I look down the road)
I look down the road
(No no no no no no no)
How far can i go?
I think of all the things that mama said
As i thought to lay my head to rest
My mind is working hard to digest
all the missing pieces that she's given to me
She said child if you're flying you must down for a
landin
Lean not to your own understanding
If you got a hunch, ha, make sure that hunch is right
She said child walk alone if that's what you do
But always be open for a hand or two
If you listen to mama, my baby, you're gonna be alright
I'll never forget it
(Chorus)
The things mama said (Yeah)
No no no no no
I want to thank you for everything you did
(Chorus)
No no no no no
Thank you
I think of all the things that mama said
