Call me a fool for thinking maybe I could get over
Or I could be stronger
Than the fear in my mind
See mama always told me I was meant to be a light in the darkness
But I feel like a candle
Waiting for a flame
And she said
Keep on getting stronger
Keep on getting wiser my dear
Don’t give in to the forces
Don’t succumb to your fear
Oh mama I pray
Oh I pray that I’ll stay strong
Oh mama I pray
Oh I pray that I’ll stay strong
But do you see my oh Lord when I look to you for an answer
I need you to tell me
How to carry on
And he said
Keep on getting stronger
Keep on getting wiser my dear
Don’t give in to the forces
Don’t succumb to your fear
Oh mama I pray
Oh I pray that I’ll stay strong
(Help me stay strong)
Oh mama I’ll pray
I’ll pray that I’ll stay strong
(Help me stay strong)
Show me now if I’ve lost my way
I reach for freedom from within my cage
Search for meaning whenever I’m afraid
Oh mama I pray
Oh I pray that I stay strong
(Help me stay strong)
Oh mama I pray
I pray that I’ll stay strong
(Help me stay strong)
Oh mama I pray
Oh I pray that I’ll stay strong
Oh mama I pray
I pray that I’ll stay strong
