MAMA SONG
Everything looks gorgeous, mama
Everything looks right as rain
Everything looks gorgeous, mama
Why can’t I go out to play?
Do you have your jacket, lovely?
Do you have all that you need?
It’s a cruel, cruel world, trust me
I don’t want to see you bleed
Everybody is playing, mama
Everybody is having fun
Everybody is playing, mama
These feet were made to run
Keep your hand in my hand, darling
Listen to the words I say
Many things are so alarming
Maybe you can wait a day
I don’t wanna wait long, mama
Happiness is calling me
I don’t wanna wait long, mama
Soon you’ll have to set me free

Thanks Josh. Went to a concert last night and I think it jumpstarted lyrical mode.

Not only does this capture the desire of youth to spread its wings, it encapsulates a mother's protective nature over her young. We know we have to let go - we love as fiercely as time permits. It would make a great song!
