[female vocals] Mmm,
yeah
I’
m
lifting
you
up
today,
Mama
Oh,
yeah
It
was
a
Sunday
morning,
the
sun
was
shining
bright
You
called
me
up
to
pray,
before
I
took
the
light
To
stand
before
the
people,
to
preach
the
holy
word
I
didn’
t
know
those
whispers
were
the
last
ones
that
I
heard
But
then
the
news
came
crashing,
like
thunder
in
the
rain
My
heart
began
to
shatter,
drowning
in
the
pain
They
told
me
you
were
fallen,
that
a
stroke
had
pulled
you
low
The
woman
who
gave
me
everything,
nowhere
left
to
go
Oh,
Mama,
I’
m
calling,
I
need
to
hear
your
voice
I’
m
praying
for
your
healing,
I’
m
making
this
my
choice
From
the
city
streets
to
the
quiet
of
the
night
I’
m
holding
onto
hope,
I’
m
waiting
for
the
light
Yeah,
Mama,
you’
re
a
fighter,
you’
re
rising
from
the
floor
I
know
that
God
is
opening
up
a
brand
new
door
I
remember
all
the
days,
the
joy
we
used
to
share
The
joints
where
we’
d
go
eating,
you
were
always
standing
there
But
then
the
silence
settled,
the
phone
just
wouldn’
t
ring
No
walking
in
the
garden,
no
song
for
you
to
sing
The
doctors
gave
the
warning,
the
tests
were
looking
grim
But
we
didn't
lose
our
focus,
we
didn't
dim
the
hymn
We
kept
our
eyes
on
Heaven,
we
kept
our
faith
so
strong
Believing
that
the
healing
is
where
you
belong
Oh,
Mama,
I’
m
calling,
I
need
to
hear
your
voice
I’
m
praying
for
your
healing,
I’
m
making
this
my
choice
From
the
city
streets
to
the
quiet
of
the
night
I’
m
holding
onto
hope,
I’
m
waiting
for
the
light
Yeah,
Mama,
you’
re
a
fighter,
you’
re
rising
from
the
floor
I
know
that
God
is
opening
up
a
brand
new
door
Out
of
oxygen,
out
of
fear,
the
miracle
is
here
I
see
you
breathing
easy,
I
see
the
path
is
clear
God
rescued
your
soul
when
the
darkness
tried
to
hide
Now
we’
re
walking
forward
with
the
spirit
by
our
side
I
need
you,
baby,
I
need
you
here
with
me
For
all
the
world
to
see,
you’
re
finally
set
free
Today
the
air
is
different,
the
chains
have
fallen
down
I
see
you
finding
strength
to
wear
your
victory
crown
From
the
hospital
to
home,
you’
re
stronger
than
before
I
don’
t
have
to
wonder,
I
don’
t
have
to
mourn
no
more
My
prayers
were
answered
softly
in
the
middle
of
the
night
Everything
is
changing,
everything’
s
alright
Oh,
Mama,
I’
m
calling,
I
need
to
hear
your
voice
I’
m
praying
for
your
healing,
I’
m
making
this
my
choice
From
the
city
streets
to
the
quiet
of
the
night
I’
m
holding
onto
hope,
I’
m
waiting
for
the
light
Yeah,
Mama,
you’
re
a
fighter,
you’
re
rising
from
the
floor
I
know
that
God
is
opening
up
a
brand
new
door
Yeah,
you’
re
coming
back
to
me
I
thank
God
for
your
life,
Mama
Oh,
we’
re
rising
up
Stronger
than
ever,
yeah
I
love
you,
Mama
