Mama's Boy

(albüm: Jah Will Never Leave I Alone - 2014)

How will your garden ever bear fruit
If you never take time to nurture the roots
Its easy to overstand
You got no future plans

Your arms are scrawny and your skin is pale
You got no dirt under your fingernails
You got a lot to learn
But you got money to burn

Mama's boy
Daddy's little girl
Cut of the umbilical get out into the world
You've been hanging on too long little darling
I think its about time for you to spread your own wings

And you'll find that in time you'll be fine once you learn a few things
You have longed for this song for so long now its your turn to sing
And you'll know that you've grown once your own wings have flown
And you'll find a new home that you can call your own
But your never gonna know if you never go and sew your seeds
And become whole no you're never gonna fly if you never try to reach the heights

Mama's boy
Daddy's little girl
Cut of the umbilical get out into the world you'll see things that you never dreamed of
Step out in the world and you might even find Love

Mama's boy
Daddy's little girl
Cut off the umbilical get out into the world you'll see
Things you never knew existed
The world was passing by and all this time you missed it

And if you're afraid just to make a mistake
Well rewards only come out of chances you take
So break free from the mold
Stop doing just as your told
Out beyond the end you might make a few new friends

And if you are lost and you can't find your way
Your tongue is all tied
You can't find the words to say
Look into your bones
The truth is etched there in stone
It has always been waiting
For your heart to be awakened
And you'll return
Standing firm in all you've learned
Ready to be a teacher
You have longed for this song for so long now its your turn to be the singer

And your voice will carry
Echo through the valleys
Like a trumpet set free in three part harmony
If you really wanna see what there is to see
Fulfill your destiny
Unfold the mysteries
Then step into the wild blue
Take a look inside you
Set yourself free

How will your garden ever bear fruit
If you never take time to nurture the roots
Its easy to overstand
You got no future plans

Your arms are scrawny and your skin is pale
You got no dirt under your fingernails
You got a lot to learn
But you got money to burn

Mama's boy
Daddy's little girl
Cut of the umbilical get out into the world
You'll never learn to pick yourself up if you never fall
So cut off the umbilical
