Mama

(album: Here's A Blessing For You - 2000)

I thought you'd like to know
All those nights you paced the floor
Praying that I would make it home alright
Believing in god that he
Would someday save my soul
Well he did, and I thought you'd like to know

I thought you'd like to know
All those prayers you prayed for me
Never a-one was fell to the ground
I know sometimes it look like I was a million miles from grace
But he answered your prayers, and I thought you'd like to know

Mama, I want you to know I love you
Please forgive me for all the times I broke your heart
Every tear you cried for me, drew me closer too being free
I want to thank you, and I thought you'd like to know

I thought you'd like to know
That I wish I could live my life again
If I could, I would surely make amends
But if I could help my brother
A new life to discover, oh I will
And I thought you'd like to know

Oh, mama, I want you to know I love you
Please forgive me for all the times I broke your heart
Every tear you cried for me, drew me closer too being free
I want to thank you, and I thought you'd like to know
I thought you'd like to know
