Lyrics

I Hear Mama Sing (Luna’s Song) (2013) Antoine Reynaldo Diel

VERSE:
LONG TIME AGO I WAS YOUNG AND SCARED OF MONSTERS AND MANY THINGS
AFRAID OF LIVING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF WHAT MY SINS WOULD BRING
AFRAID OF PEOPLES’ KNOWING LOOKS, AND WHATEVER THEY MAY SAY
I ALWAYS LONGED FOR SOMETHING THAT WOULD TAKE MY GUILT AWAY

VERSE:
WHEN I WAS YOUNG IN A FAR OFF LAND SO FAR AWAY FROM HERE
DARK CLOUDS WOULD COME WITH WIND AND RAIN AND THUNDER CAUSING FEAR
WHEN I WAS YOUNG I CRIED AND PRAYED FOR FEAR WAS A REGULAR THING
BUT SOMEHOW NO MATTER HOW I FELT IT GOT BETTER WHEN I HEARD MAMA SING

CHORUS:
SHE’D SING ABOUT AMAZING GRACE HOW SWEETLY SHE WOULD SOUND
SHE’D SING OF LOST AND WOUNDED SOULS AND HOW THEY WERE HEALED AND FOUND
AND NOW THAT I AM ON MY OWN AND SINGING THIS REFRAIN
I CAN NOT HELP BUT WISH THAT I COULD HEAR MAMA SING AGAIN

VERSE:
AS WE GOT OLDER WE’VE COME SO FAR FROM WHERE WE WERE BEFORE
THE MONSTERS AND THOSE OTHER THINGS STILL LOOM OUTSIDE OUR DOOR
ON WINGS OF HOPE AND CLOUDS OF JOY I FINALLY FELT FREE
BUT THE FEAR I USED TO FEEL INSIDE IN MY MAMAS’ EYES I’D SEE

BRIDGE:
DON’T KNOW IF THE ANSWER LIES IN PRAYERS OR PILL
HER VOICE ONCE POWERFUL IS NOW JUST SOFT AND STILL
IF ONLY A SONG COULD MAKE HER SMILE AND JOY TO STAY
AND DRIVE ALL THE MONSTERS AND THE BAD MEMORIES AWAY

CHORUS:
I WOULD SING TO HER OF AMAZING GRACE AND HOW THE LOST IS FOUND
I’D SING TO HER WITH ALL MY LOVE AND HOPE SHE FINDS JOY IN THE SOUND
AND EVEN THOUGH I’M FAR AWAY AND SING MY OWN REFRAIN
I CAN NOT HELP BUT WISH THAT I COULD HEAR MAMA SING AGAIN
I CAN NOT HELP BUT WISH THAT I COULD HEAR MAMA SING AGAIN
I CAN NOT HELP BUT WISH THAT I COULD SING WITH MY MAMA AGAIN
