Mama, please don't you cry I'll never see you low while I'm still high Your tears, they hit me deep inside Gotta be strong, gotta be your guide You raised me up, showed me the way Even when the world seemed to be grey You fought for me, every single day Mama, your love, it will never stray Chorus: Mama, please don't you cry I'll be your shoulder, I'll be your ally Together we'll soar, we'll reach for the sky Mama, please don't you ever cry Verse 2: I know life can be tough and cruel But with you by my side, there's nothing I can't do You taught me to be fearless, to be bold Mama, your strength, it never gets old You showed me to love, to forgive Even when it's hard and we're at our wit's end Your lessons, they'll always stick Mama, you're my rock, my perfect fit Chorus: Mama, please don't you cry I'll be your shoulder, I'll be your ally Together we'll soar, we'll reach for the sky Mama, please don't you ever cry Bridge: I know sometimes I may cause you pain But mama, you know I'll never be the same Without you, I wouldn't be who I am Mama, please understand, I'll do all I can Chorus: Mama, please don't you cry I'll be your shoulder, I'll be your ally Together we'll soar, we'll reach for the sky Mama, please don't you ever cry Outro: So mama, wipe those tears away I'll make it all better, I'll make it all okay Just hold on tight, and never let go Mama, please don't you cry no more.
