Mama Said lyrics

Let's wander slowly through the fields
Slowly slowly through the fields
I touch the leaves that touch the sky
Just you and I through fields of joy

All trouble slowly fades away
Slowly slowly fades away
I hold your hand inside my hand
Across the land through fields of joy

The sound of music that we hear
The blend of colors in the air
All cities, mountains disappear from view

My mama said
That your life is a gift
And my mama said
There's much weight you will lift
And my mama said
Leave those bad boys alone
And my mama said
Be home before the dawn
And my mama said
You can be rich or poor
But my mama said
You can be big or small

But I'm always on the run,
Always on the run,
But I'm always on the run.

My mama said
That it's good to be fruitful

There were times I wasn't kind
And there were times I wasn't even around
And there were times I made you cry
So many times I had to say goodbye
When you want to talk
I'm on the phone
But now baby, yeah, I am here for you alone

I'm gonna stand by my woman now
I'm gonna stand by my woman now
'Cause I can't live my life alone
Without a home

There were times I didn't understand

Here we are still together
We are one
So much time wasted
Playing games with love

So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
But baby It ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
To keep our love alive
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over

How many times
Did we give up
But we always worked things out
And all my doubts and fears
Kept me wondering, yeah

More than anything in this world
I just want you to be my woman
More than anything in this world
I wanna be your man

I'd walk through fire
Stand in the rain
I'll go to hell and back
On a plane
I'd scale the mountains
Swim the seas
I beg for mercy
Down on my knees

More than anything in this world
I just want you to be my woman
More than anything in this world

my pockets were full and now my money's gone
my friends come around and now they're gone
things come and they come and then they go
and where they go nobody knows

it's gonna come around
what goes around comes around
it's gonna come around
what goes around comes around

my cup over runneth with the fullness and grace
yet people push bullshit in my face

I'm just a human
I never said I was God
And each day I wonder where you are
How could our lives once be so together
Now we're apart
I know we can make it
But where do we start

Sometimes the scales get unbalanced
Don't you know the reason why
The difference is why, the difference is why

You say you can't trust me
Have you tried
You say you don't love me
That's a lie

( More of guitar, need more track
Bass, more guitar )

Thinking positivity
If you wanna be with me
I'll take you to the promised land
Come on baby take my hand

Stop draggin' around, stop draggin' around
Stop draggin' around, stop draggin' around
Yeah yeah yeah ! ahah hou ..

Higher and higher and higher we get
I'll freak you like a sex-o-lette
You say you wanna be my wife

Flowers for Zoe
Love for Zoe
Angels and rainbows
All kinds of things you can call your own

Garden for Zoe
And oceans for Zoe
Jungle gym playgrounds
All kinds of things for you to explore

Flowers for Zoe
Love for Zoe
Angels and rainbows
All kinds of things you can call your own
Yeah yeah yeah

God is for Zoe
And heaven's for Zoe
Oh can you believe

Baby can't keep on running
All I want you to do is to feel with me yeah
We both are hurting
And It's gonna take a little time
To heal all the wounds and save our family

All I ever wanted, all I ever needed
All I ever wanted was love
Remember kissing in the moonlight
How we held each other all night
All I ever wanted was love

Darling darling darling

Little girl with heroin so blue
You've got to find the future in you
Your scepters and needles will put you away
Forever and a day

Your future will haunt you before you get there
Imagine a planet with no air
All mute no light no sun only night
As far away as neverland

As the sky comes tumbling down to the head
And the valleys are all filled up with dirt

Will we ever understand
Or is the fate of man at hands
Will we live or shall we die
How will we ever know if we never try

The government's the devil's hands
It's a lie and it's a scam
They wind us up, put us down, and watch us go
And if you close your eyes
There's a big surprise

What the fuck are we saying
Do we feel what we dream about
We've got to keep on praying

You are the most beautiful thing
I've ever seen
You shine just like sunlight rays
On a winter snow
I just had to tell you so

Your eyes sparkle as the stars
Like the moon they glow
Your smile could light the world on fire
Or did you know

Your mind's full of everything
That I want to know
I just had to let you know
I just had to tell you so
You're my butterfly
Fly high
Fly fly fly

will we ever understand ?
or is the fate of man at hand ?
will we live or shall we die ?
how will we ever know if we never try ?
the government's the devil's hands
it's a lie and it's a scam
they wind us up, put us down and watch us go
and if you close your eyes
there's a big surprise

what the fuck are we saying ?
do we feel what we dream about ?
we've got to keep on praying

I was born long ago
I am the chosen I'm the one
I have come to save the day
And I won't leave until I'm done
So that's why you've got to try
You got to breath and have some fun
Though I'm not paid I play this game
And I won't stop until I'm done

But what I really want to know is
Are you gonna go my way?
And I got to got to know

I don' tknow why we always cry
This we must leave and get undone

I am you and you are me
Why's that such a mystery?
If you want it you got to believe
Who are we? We're who we are
Riding on the great big star
We've got to stand up if we're gonna be free yeah

If you want it you got it
You just got to believe
Believe in yourself
'Cause it's all just a game
We just want to be loved

The Son of God is in our face
Offering us eternal grace

I need you and I need love
I need truth and I need God
I don't know just how to say
But I love you anyway
You and I can't be too strong
Come on and love me

With the stars and moon above
Take me in your arms let love
Rule us in our hearts and in your minds
Just come here babay tell me what you feel
Oh you and I can't wait for that too long
Come on and love me

Lay your body next to mine

There comes a time to be free of the heart
I wanna be ready, ready to start
On a love journey, got places to go
Made up my mind and I have got to let you know

Heaven help the heart that lets me inside
Heaven help the one that comes in my life
Heaven help the fool that walks through my door
'Cause I decided right now
I'm ready for love

A funny feeling's coming over me

You ask me how should Ibe to you?
You ask me to tell you what to do
You ask me how can we make it through
You want me but don't know what to do
And I just want you to be true
Just be a woman, just be a woman

You ask me how can I make you smile?
You ask me how can I make it right?
But darling just take a look inside
The answers are within your own mind
And I just want you to be you

Tell me baby why can't you see that I'm feeling down
If you open your eyes you'd see that I'm wearing a frown
You'd think about yourself if you thought I was dead
Aw yeah

Baby baby you walk around like you own this town
Your whole life is a fantasy and I'm playing the clown
You talk behind my back and spend up all my bread

Is there any love in your heart oo yeah

Black girl, so fine and bright
Black girl, you shine as the night
Black girl, you move me so right
I just have to make you mine
'Cause you make me lose my mind

Black girl, with beauty so deep
Black girl, just rock me to sleep
Black girl, good things you will reap
'Cause you're of the ancient vine
And you're from another time
And your history's all in line

Ain't it funny how I used to wonder
