Panic-Stricken

Walking through a crowded mall when I was small
And mama's hand led the way
Then something caught my eye
And I turned to look toward the shine
And mama's hand would no longer wait
I turned around and it began
Standing there panic-stricken
Every face became the same
Everyone shouting out names
And my heart could not be tamed
So I stand to call out:
Oh mama, don't let me go
'Cause you know how much I need you
Oh mama, don't let me go
'Cause you know how much I need you
'Cause I need you
Need you right now
Walking, now no longer small
Been 20 years or more
And I had his hand and we walked some way
Introspection caught my eye
And I turned inside for some time
But his hand would no longer wait
I turned around and it began
Standing there panic-stricken
Every face became the same
Everyone shouting out names
And my heart could not be tamed
So I stand to call out:
Oh mama, don't let me go
'Cause you know how much I need you
Oh mama, don't let me go
'Cause you know how much I need you
'Cause I need, I need you
Yeah, I need, I need you
Yeah, I need, I need you
I need you right now
Mama...
