I’ll ask you once
I’ll ask you one time
And then I’ll ask again
From down in the front
I’ll walk around the room
And then I’ll go again
I can’t be told
Everything I uncover ain’t solid gold
Nobody seems to know
What it’s like to bear the burden
A mind that just unfolds
In a way that no-one else does
I’ll find along the way
There are people I can talk to
It won’t be every day
I feel your hands of love
Trying to hold on
But, mama, please hold on
There is a price
There is a price I will extract
Along the many different avenues
I wanna be nice
I wanna feel the sun upon my face and smile
At all the many things you’ve done
Keeping me knowing
I’m a beautiful son
Nobody tries to know
What it’s like to bear the burden
A mind that just unfolds
I’m a way that no-one else does
I’ll find along the way
There are mountains I can stand atop
It won’t be every day
I feel your hands of love
Trying to hold on
But, mama, please hold on
Please hold on
Oh mama, please hold on
