Mama used to hold me when times seemed their worst
If I was sick she'd be there like my doctor and my nurse
Obstacles and troubles come she'd always say
Then she'd smile and shout that there will be a better day
Mama used to scold me time and time again
I knew that she had pressures much bigger than most men
Sometimes I hear her praying oh Lord if I may
Just lean on you tonight because tomorrow will be a better day
Never tired of doing all she could for anyone
You could feel her precious love
All the things she taught me are still inside of me
And I won't let her down
Mama was pure spirit a song to my soul
A truly joyful melody that must be sung and told
My love for mama is heard when I play or sing for the whole world that there
Will be a better day
