Didn't have no one, sacrificed your goals Didn't trust yourself, don't need to lie I know you can survive But it feels like sometimes you need to cry Oh, mama, why? The little stars and the locked up dreams The missing pieces, they're in me I know that you're strong, but you must stop fighting And live your song in harmony Buried secrets deep, now they overflow Crystal clear to me, God, let it be Pass the burden on Sweep the troubled life Drink the hurt away I know the pain 'Cause you nearly broke me down, mama I was hurt for a while, hurt for a while I was hurting inside Ain't no time to cry I'll fix what's broken and live my life authentically It's not far away The road to peace happens when I pray I'm not asleep There's bigger dreams that didn't fit for you But will fit for me Do you believe? Mama, please, stop acting twenty-three You've got responsibilities Are you still stuck in your teens? You nearly broke me down, mama (you nearly broke me down, mama) (Ooh) oh, mama, (ooh) oh, mama (You) you nearly, (nearly broke me down) you nearly broke me down, mama Oh, mama, oh-oh-oh Oh, mama why The little stars and the locked up dreams The missing pieces, they're in me Oh, mama why The little stars and the locked up dreams The missing pieces, they're in me
