Mama Hold My Hand - Aloe Blacc

When I was just a little boy

When I would go out to play

And I would wonder so far from home

That I would lose my way

Then I’d call on my mama to help me

And she’d come right away

To help me get back home where I wanna be

And here’s what I’d say

Momma hold my hand

I don’t think I can cross this road by myself

Mama hold my hand

I don’t think I can cross this road by myself

And when I was a young man

I would go astray

Didn’t want nobody to hold my hand

Wanted to make my own way

And my mama would come out to help me

But I’d push her away

Cause I just wanted to be on my own

And here’s what I’d say

Mama leave my hand

I’ve been waiting to cross this road by myself

Cross this road by myself

Well now that I’m a grown man

I done moved away

I got a house, a 9 to 5 and my wife

Got a kid on the way

Mama told me that life’s gonna get rough

Take it day by day

But every once in a while I get scared

And I wish I could say

Momma hold my hand

I don’t think I can cross this road by myself

Mama hold my hand

I don’t think I can cross this road by myself

Now my mama is near the end of her years

And her hair is grey

Sometimes I call her to ask her

If she would like to spend the day

Mama used to be strong but she ain’t now

And she can’t make her way

That’s why I’m always around when she needs help

And here’s what I say

Mama hold my hand

I don’t think you can cross this road by yourself

Mama hold my hand

I don’t think you can cross this road by yourself
