I said ..yeah
Mother may I, I would say
Yes, sweet baby, take it away
And...It won’t be long
Just, just remember that
Powerful is the woman in you
stay true
And she’d come to me
when fire and water was gone
to caress the empty with a song
Saying why cry for anger
that bullets the sky
just remember
I’ll remember 'cause mama
I’ll get by
I know my face
seems crazed and wild
but I got her eyes
A mama’s child am I
She’s blessed with grace
and is smooth as a line
and when I shade
she helps me shine
And she comes to me
when there’s nothing
I believe and holds me so high
Yes I am free
Saying why hold the anger
it won’t let you fly
just remember
I’ll remember
and mama, mama I’ll get by
Confused by my own illusions
she said that it’s only my pride
and even the simplest solutions still
won’t heal my mind
So I’ll remember
I’ll remember
and I’ll get by..by
Yeah and I’ll be alone
Yes, sweet baby, take it away
And...It won’t be long
Just, just remember that
Powerful is the woman in you
stay true
when fire and water was gone
to caress the empty with a song
Saying why cry for anger
that bullets the sky
just remember
I’ll remember 'cause mama
I’ll get by
seems crazed and wild
but I got her eyes
A mama’s child am I
and is smooth as a line
and when I shade
she helps me shine
when there’s nothing
I believe and holds me so high
Yes I am free
it won’t let you fly
just remember
I’ll remember
and mama, mama I’ll get by
she said that it’s only my pride
and even the simplest solutions still
won’t heal my mind
So I’ll remember
I’ll remember
and I’ll get by..by
Yeah and I’ll be alone

@ohhhlaura I so agree with you! This woman has an amazing vocal range and she knows how to put on a show! I"ve seen her in concert twice and can't wait to see her again!

I agree with ohhhlaura - she is nothing short of amazing. Period.
I believe that she is refering to "Mama" as Earth Mother, Goddess, as in Creator or Higher Power. Teacher, lover, or even inner voice consciousness.
"I know my face seems crazed and wild, but I got her eyes A mama`s child am I."
She does
nt look like her mother in the way she usually behaves, she is mutch to wild of a child for that, but shes got her mamas eyes and can say with pride "A mama`s child am I""and when I shade she helps me shine" Her mother knows how to make her feel bether.
"And she comes to me when there`s nothing I believe and holds me so high" Her mom is such a support for her whenever she is in the dark, alone and are depressed.
"Saying why hold the anger it won`t let you fly"
theese lines is the most important for me in this song. Like motherly wisdom that tells her doughter how to live a happy life, by letting go of things, like anger or hate, that can come in the way. Great song!
Beth hart wrote this to her mother, and it is really beautiful to see someone appreciating a parent so much.
This song makes me feel sad. I see a broken mother'daughter relationship in this song. The mother, struggling with her own demons and the daughter just wanting her mother's real love and acceptance, getting some distorted form of that, in her mother's own dysfunctional way. Then the daughter sees the mother in herself.
