Mama's Hand by Lauren Hendon

Mama
Ain’t got a hold of you no more
Closed years and miles in between

She was raised by the back of Mama’s hand
A third eye in the back of her head
She thought she’d raise her well
Be polite don't you flirt
Tell the truth but hide the dirt
Remember
Oh Remember

Tough love they say, more like a misplaced fuse
God must protect from shadows she presumed
Loud voices only grew
Cover up, read the book
You stay thin and prize your looks
Remember
Oh Remember


Mama ain’t got a hold of you no more
Closed years and miles in between
You're a woman on your own two feet
Mama ain’t got a hold of you no more
Were once dreams now are plans
Not in the stars but in your hands
Wiser I am
Wiser I am


She grew tall mama’s words still ring true
Cold hard lies tied so tight she must undo
New story to write by chance
You can love, you can dance
Raise your voice and take a stance
Remember
Oh Remember

Mama ain’t got a hold of me no more
Closed years and miles in between
I'm a woman on my own two feet
Mama ain’t got a hold of me no more
Were once dreams now are plans
Not in the stars but in my hands
Wiser I am
Wiser I am
Wiser I am


Mama
Ain't got a hold of me no more
