Forever Child

Mama, Mama

It's a happy voice

From a happy face

Running with open arms

To wrap mother's knees in warm embrace

Mama, Mama

It's a tear-filled voice

With a pain-filled face

Caused by the switch of discipline

Repentant and yearning for mother's solace

Mama, Mama

It's a respectful voice

Out of a thoughtful face

Gleaning with intense attention

From mother's wisdom and grace

Mama, Mama

It's a grateful voice

Matched with an emotional face

For all the love and nurture

That helps me this life to ace
