Lyrics Mama Hold My Hand - Aloe Blacc

Mama Hold My Hand

When I was just a little boy
When I would go out to play
And I would wonder so far from home
That I would lose my way
Then I’d call on my mama to help me
And she’d come right away
To help me get back home where I wanna be
And here’s what I’d say
Momma hold my hand
I don’t think I can cross this road by myself
Mama hold my hand
I don’t think I can cross this road by myself
And when I was a young man
I would go astray
Didn’t want nobody to hold my hand
Wanted to make my own way
And my mama would come out to help me
But I’d push her away
Cause I just wanted to be on my own
And here’s what I’d say
Mama leave my hand
I’ve been waiting to cross this road by myself
Cross this road by myself
Well now that I’m a grown man
I done moved away
I got a house, a 9 to 5 and my wife
Got a kid on the way
Mama told me that life’s gonna get rough
Take it day by day
But every once in a while I get scared
And I wish I could say
Momma hold my hand
I don’t think I can cross this road by myself
Mama hold my hand
I don’t think I can cross this road by myself
Now my mama is near the end of her years
And her hair is grey
Sometimes I call her to ask her
If she would like to spend the day
Mama used to be strong but she ain’t now
And she can’t make her way
That’s why I’m always around when she needs help
And here’s what I say
Mama hold my hand
I don’t think you can cross this road by yourself
Mama hold my hand
I don’t think you can cross this road by yourself
