A gentle whisper Softly spoken, beckoning Can you hear me? Will you not see me? It's so confusing Save the trees and kill the child, Do you hear it? It makes no sense at all. I'm sorry mama I will not let you down One day you will see That I can be all I can be Grow up and make you proud of me Someone to love, to keep and to hold Sometime, someday Well mama what do you say? It's not easy, I have no money and no strength What will they say? I cannot bear the shame I'm sorry mama Together we'll get through One day we will see That we can be all we can be Get through it all, you and me Each other to love, to keep and to hold Sometime, some day Well mama? Then I can be all I can be Grow up and make you proud of me Someone to love, to keep and to hold Sometime, someday Well mama what do you say? Then I can be all I can be Grow up and make you proud of me Someone to love, to keep and to hold Sometime, someday Well mama? Then we can be all we can be Get through it all, you and me Each other to love, to keep and to hold Sometime, some day Well mama what do you say? Walking through this Dead end alley, no way out He'll be near you, Just a prayer away.
