When I woke up, when I opened up my eyes Drinking the sun without blinking And when I reached out, when I reached out for a sign Holding a gun without sinking (ooh, it was a fine feeling, ooh, it was a mighty fine feeling) Then I thought about the younger days When I was looking for a friend Thought about the way my mama would carry me to the end
Chorus: oh mama, will you carry me again My eyes are blind without my mama
When I looked up, when I focused on the sky Touching it's heart but not stinging And then I took it and I realized it might Shake like a bell without ringing (ohh, it was a fine feeling, ohh, it was a mighty fine feeling) Then I thought about the younger days When I had no-one to fight Thought about the way my mama would carry me through the night
