Mama,
listen
close
This
is
from
the
heart,
yeah
Dear
Mother,
I'm
writing
this
song
today
To
tell
you
I
love
you
in
every
single
way
Through
dark
days
and
bright,
you
were
always
near
You
wiped
away
every
single
falling
tear
You
taught
me
to
walk,
you
taught
me
to
speak
You
held
me
close
whenever
I
was
feeling
weak (
Yebo)
When
the
fever
burned
and
I
couldn't
rest
You
pulled
me
close
against
your
beating
chest
Oh,
Mama,
you’
re
the
mother
of
the
nation,
it’
s
true
But
I
have
a
question
I
need
to
ask
of
you
When
I
couldn't
breathe,
you
sucked
the
mucus
away
Kept
me
alive
through
the
night
and
the
day
But
why
hide
my
surname,
why
hide
my
name?
Is
it
a
secret,
or
is
it
a
shame?
When
I
was
coughing,
you
were
there
by
my
bed
Cooling
the
fever
inside
of
my
head
You’
ve
been
my
guardian,
my
anchor,
my
guide
With
nothing
to
fear
and
nothing
to
hide (
Sharp
sharp)
But
the
confusion
is
growing,
it’
s
pulling
me
down
When
people
ask
me,
I
look
at
the
ground
Why
can't
I
use
the
name
that
is
mine?
Why
do
you
blur
out
that
part
of
the
line?
Oh,
Mama,
you’
re
the
mother
of
the
nation,
it’
s
true
But
I
have
a
question
I
need
to
ask
of
you
When
I
couldn't
breathe,
you
sucked
the
mucus
away
Kept
me
alive
through
the
night
and
the
day
But
why
hide
my
surname,
why
hide
my
name?
Is
it
a
secret,
or
is
it
a
shame?
Is
it
because
you
don't
know
who
he
is?
Or
are
you
protecting
me
from
all
of
this? (
Eish)
I
just
need
to
know,
I
need
to
be
whole
To
find
the
missing
piece
inside
of
my
soul
I
love
you,
Mama,
you’
re
the
best
that
I
know
But
this
empty
space
makes
it
harder
to
grow
Give
me
the
truth
so
my
heart
can
be
free
So
I
know
exactly
who
I’
m
meant
to
be (
Let's
go)
I
see
you
working,
I
see
you
try
But
please
don't
leave
me
with
a
question
'why'
Oh,
Mama,
you’
re
the
mother
of
the
nation,
it’
s
true
But
I
have
a
question
I
need
to
ask
of
you
When
I
couldn't
breathe,
you
sucked
the
mucus
away
Kept
me
alive
through
the
night
and
the
day
But
why
hide
my
surname,
why
hide
my
name?
Is
it
a
secret,
or
is
it
a
shame? (
Sho)
You
gave
me
life,
Mama
Just
give
me
my
name (
Aweh)
I
love
you
always
But
I
need
to
know
my
truth
