Mama Proud - Jess Williamson

When

You lose

A part

Of your heart

Does it make room?

For something new

Does it scar?

And where does it run off to?

A part of your heart, apart from you

Was my cup so full I thought

It was empty?

Oh my God

I had a dream about going blind

See me selfish, see me unkind

I made a big decision

It won’t make my mama proud

And be assured I am not running but

Even still I can’t let her down

I can’t let her down

I’d like to avoid seeing a picture of your hand

'Cause in a picture of your hand I see my old home

Do you believe in God, fate, luck or chance?

Or are we not supposed to know?

It’s a test, it’s a test

It’s a test, it’s a test

Was my cup so full I thought

It was empty?

Oh my God

I had a dream about going blind

See me selfish, see me unkind

I made a big decision

It won’t make my mama proud

And be assured I am not running but

Even still I can’t let her down

I can’t let her down
