mama

mama envisioned a life for me
her baby boy her pride and joy
but not like this
not like this

mama urged me to play with boys
no girly toys for her little boy
but not like this
not like this

i know she dreamed someday
i would marry and raise a family
but not like this
no not like this

mama if there’s one thing you
should understand you did well
in making me a man just not the
kind you had in mind

through dark days and cold nights
you kept us warm gave up your life
countless were your sacrifices and
i just wanna say thank you ill say it
again and again
i just wanna say thank you

His

He makes me wanna dance on my tippy toes
A pirouette or something silly ballet dancers do
I wanna be his nut cracker I wanna smell his shoes
I wanna be his everything I wanna be faithful

I caught a falling star I found my pot of gold
He is everything I wished and hoped for
The four leaf clover for my soul

I’m on a mountain as high as the clouds
I’ve kissed an angel I can’t find my way down
I’ve forgotten every pain I’ve ever felt
Every lover that ever left

I wanna be his water the rain that cleanse his soul
I wanna be the whisper in his ear
I wanna be his wings as we soar through the air

I wanna be the beauty that beams from his face
I wanna sleep beside him until our very last breath
I wanna be in his arms forever.
