your mama so cool like a gentle breeze
blowin on a summer day
your mama got a way of sayin things
that would chase all my pain away

i remember times
she looked me in the eyes
and tell me i could win
'cuz when nobody else would take the time
to care about a broken hearted kid
your mama did

your mama so strong
she could sure lift the troubles
right out of me
your mama had a way of carvin out
what i was supposed to be

sometimes she would scold me
stand up for me boldly
challenge me to win
'cuz when nobody else would take the time
to care about a broken hearted kid
your mama did

and it makes me say
your mama did
your mama did
your mama did

it makes me wanna say
your mama did
your mama did
your mama did

your mama so smooth
i can soar on the wind
underneath her wings

and the air of her encouragement
is still blowin through my memories
she helped me find my dreams
show me what love means
now this is how i live

'cuz when nobody else would take the time
to care about a broken hearted kid
i will do my best to show them
that the love of God is something you can live
and the only reason
i have something good inside of me
that i can give
is your mama did

your mama did
your mama did
your mama did

i'm so grateful that
your mama did
your mama did
your mama did

your mama did
your mama did
your mama did
