Mama & Papa

I have prayed

I have prayed

'Til you're gone

When I prayed

I found your god

Or so I thought

You told me "Let go

He will never come home"

So I've been running

I've been running

I've been running on my own

Mama, mama, when I was born

Where was daddy and why did he go?

Was he no good to you, mama?

Did he have a different agenda? Oh

Mama, mama, do we look alike?

Do you see him when I squeeze my eyes?

What does it do to you, mama?

Do I remind you of papa? Oh

Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa

Every time you're done praying

You've got much stronger than me

Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa

I had my face in the dirt

When you were going to church

When you were going to church

I have sinned

I have sinned

To your god

And when I sinned

I found my god

Or so I thought

I had to let go

I don't wanna go home

And I keep running

Keep running

Keep running on my own

Mama, mama, when I was born

Where was daddy and why did he go?

Was he no good to you, mama?

Did he have a different agenda? Oh

Mama, mama, do we look alike?

Do you see him when I squeeze my eyes?

What does it do to you, mama?

Do I remind you of papa? Oh

Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa

Every time you're done praying

You've got much stronger than me, hey

Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa

I had my face in the dirt

When you were going to church

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Praise, praise the Lord

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Oh, hallelujah

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Hallelujah, oh, hallelujah

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Ho, amen

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Mama, mama, when I was born

Papa wandered, he left us alone

He was no good to you, mama

He had a higher agenda, oh

Mama, mama, we look alike

But don't you see? You wanna squeeze my eyes

It means nothing to mama

I got my mind out of papa, oh-oh-oh-oh

(Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa)

Every time you're done praying

You've got much stronger than me, oh

Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa

I had my face in the dirt

When you were going to church

Hey, nah

Amen
