Mama, I Already Know

Was it too warm in the hospital room

When you first took me into your arms?

When I opened my eyes, did you see what I could be?

Did you see the dust from the stars?

Well you buckled me into a hand-me-down car seat

Dad took the long way home

You looked in the backseat and told me you loved me

But, Mama I already know

Oh, what a friend that we have in Lord Jesus

You taught me the songs I would sing

Me and my brothers on Easter egg Sunday

In pastel plaid for the king

But I've grown up to question your holy directions

I'm not who I was long ago

Would you still love me with no god above me?

Mama, I already know

Prodigal living I fit the description

And learned that this world's not your friend

You wrestle with something so long that there's nothing

To fight off the darkness within

But I found me someone who loves me like you do

She shows me the lights in my soul

You said, "do you think that you'll marry her someday?"

Mama, I already know

One of us stands over one of us lying

Arms crossed down our chest and eyes closed

A room full of loved ones and full of their crying

But you smirk, 'cause i'm wearing nice clothes

Over refreshments, overheard reflections

"When we die, where do we go?"

Where we're never apart, 'cause you carved out my heart

Yeah, Mama I already know
