Hold my hand and listen close, hey Ma, I just want you to know That I love you and I hope that you feel fine For all the years, alone you raised us, thru lonely nights and Troubled days You took the time, you really held the light () And these hard times, you are always in our minds These hard times, in a world so damned insane You are shelter from the pain, it's been a long ride We were taught to think, helped made aware Ma, the credit goes to you, I swear Encouraged to form opinions of our own You kept us healthy, warm and then You gave us brighter days ahead We knew someday, we'd look back and we'd smile () (Break) ()
