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. HEAR ME SING THIS IN CONCERT ON YOUTUBE: 'AMERICANA MAMA LOUIS SPENCE' THANK YOU.
