Mama Hold My Hand

Cross this road
When I was just a little boy well I would go out to play
And I would wander so far from home that i would lose my way
And I'd call on my mama to help me and she'd come right away
To help me get back home where I wanna be
and here's what I'd say
Mama hold my hand
I don't think I can cross this road by myself
Mama hold my hand
I don't think I can cross this road by myself
And when I was a young man I would go astray
Didn't want nobody to hold my hand wanted to make my own way
And my mama would come out to help me but i push her away
Cause i just wanted to be on my own
and here's what I'd say
Mama leave my hand
I've been waiting to cross this road by myself
Cross this road by myself
Well now that I'm a grown man and I done moved away
I got house a 9to5 and my wife we got a kid on the way
Mama told me that life's gonna get rough take it day by day
But every once in a while I get scared
And I wish I could say
Mama hold my hand
I don't think i can cross this road by myself
Mama hold my hand
I don't think i can cross this road by myself
Now my mama is near the end of her years and her hair is grey
Sometimes I call her to ask her if she would like to spend the day
mama used to be strong but she ain't now and she cant make her way
Thats why I'm always around when she needs help
and here's what I say
Mama hold my hand
I don't think you can cross this road by yourself
Mama hold my hand
I don't think you can cross this road by yourself
