I have prayed, I have prayed 'til you're gone

When I pray, I found your god or so I thought.

You told me "let go, he will never come home"

So I've been running, I've been running, I've been running on my own.

Mama, mama, when I was born

Where was daddy and why did he go?

Was he no good to you, mama?

Did he have a different agenda? oh...

Mama, mama, do we look alike?

Do you see him when I squeese my eyes?

What does it do to you, mama?

Do I remind you of papa? oh...

Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa

Every time you're done praying

You've got much stronger than me, oh...

Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa

I had my face in the dirt

When you were going to church

When you were going to church.

I have sinned, I have sinned to your god

And when I sinn, I found my god, or so I thought.

I had to let go, I don't wanna go home

And I keep running, keep running, keep running on my own.

Mama, mama, when I was born

Where was daddy and why did he go?

Was he no good to you, mama?

Did he have a different agenda? oh

Mama, mama, do we look alike?

Do you see him when I squeese my eyes?

What does it do to you, mama?

Do I remind you of papa? oh...

Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa

Every time you're done praying

You've got much stronger than me, oh...

Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa

I had my face in the dirt

When you were going to chur- hmm.

Prai- praise the lord (ho, ho)

Oh, hallelujah (ho, ho)

Hallelujah, oh, hallelujah (ho, ho)

Ho, amen (ho, ho)

Mama, mama, when I was born

Papa wondered, he left us alone

He was no good to you, mama

He had a higher agenda, ho...

Mama, mama, we look alike

But don't you see, you wanna squeese my eyes

It means nothing to mama

I got my mind out of poppa, oh...

Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa

Every time you're done praying

You've got much stronger than me, oh...

Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa

I had my face in the dirt

When you were going to chur.

Praise the lord

Amen.
