Lyrics

Mama

Hmm, Hmm, Hmm, Hmm
I've been gone too long
Gone too far from home
Help me mend my ways
In this life I won

Would you mourn a sinner mama?
Could you love my demons mama?
Would you hold my broken heart?
And kiss my sharpened heart

Tell my Lord I've tried
Held my faith inside
Oh what if I die in this state of mind?

Would you mourn a sinner mama?
Could you love my demons mama?
Would you hold my broken heart
And kiss my sharpened heart?

Is this what I want
Is that what I want
Cry for me when I'm gone
Pray for me when I'm gone

Oh, oh, oh, oh (would you mourn a sinner mama)
Hmm, hmm, hmm (could you love my demons mama)
Cry for me (would you hold my broken heart)
I need you
I want you (and kiss my sharpened heart)
