MAMA
You gave the gift of life to me
And through your love you set me free
How in this world should I be
Without you.
I have your star that shines on me
Burning bright and endlessly
Show me how I need to be
Without you.
The first embrace we ever seek
The first sweet kiss upon the cheek
The first word that we ever speak is Mama
The light forever in my eyes
The angel walking by my side
The word that wells me up inside is Mama.
El camino duro andamos
Te veo momentos de oro
El angel de pie a mi lado, Mama
La luz que brilla en mis ojos
Ella que me quita el dolor
Con amor nunca estoy solo, Mama.
On fields of destruction soldiers die
Sent there by leaders who just lie
And as they fall the young men cry for Mama.
And so the circle closes fast
The future will be as the past
The first word spoken and the last
Mama.
The first embrace we ever seek
The first sweet kiss upon the cheek
The first word that we ever speak is Mama
The light forever in my eyes
The angel walking by my side
The word that wells me up inside is Mama
Mama, Mama.
