Mama - Naomi Pilgrim

Oh, they will never get to me

You taught me to be free

You raised me like a queen

Oh, you shared the world with me

The truth was mine to see

Your stories let me be

The ocean and the trees

Mama, you raised me like a queen

Oh, the things you make me see

We struggled you and me

We’re swimming through the breeze

Oh, but you never let me down

And all the shells I found

You pick up from the ground

Now I turn them into sound, mom

Sundays, watch the rain

You gave me towels in the bay

Maybe someday, it’s my turn

I’ll teach the freedom that I learned

Oh, I was feeling six feet tall

Screaming from the shore

To beat the ocean roar

Oh, cause you made me feel secure

And the storms we’re drawing near

We faced our darkest fears

And you made them disappear

Mom, mom, mom

Sundays, watch the rain

You gave me towels in the bay

Maybe someday, it’s my turn

I’ll teach the freedom that I learned
