[Verse 1] When the morning light burns Every time it shines In a city still half asleep I’m the only one who stops In my pocket I’ve got All these crumpled dreams Every time they call out my name I still can’t smile like I mean it [Pre-Chorus] Hey, I’m begging for an answer Deep inside my chest Something’s always shaking Empty words from someone Never fill the night I just need one Voice that feels certain [Chorus] Mama, why did I ever come into this world? Mama, where is the place that I’m supposed to go? If every tear I cry Could turn into strength someday Then just a little more Let me stay right here [Verse 2] On the corner going home See that red old bike And its shadow standing so still I can’t seem to run on past it Every yesterday gone wrong Every fear of tomorrow Somewhere hidden in my chest Always spilling at the edges [Pre-Chorus] Hey, I just want you to hold me All the words I choke Silent in my wishes If your eyes could find me When I’m about to break Just for now, I’ll Wait for you right here [Chorus] Mama, why did I ever come into this world? Mama, tell me whose pain I’m meant to heal now? If everyone I save Could turn into strength someday Then just a little more Let me stay right here [Bridge] Even if I’m scarred all over If I could be someone’s morning light Maybe this small and fragile heart Still could have a little meaning [Final Chorus] Mama, why did I ever come into this world? Mama, where is the place that I’m supposed to go? If every time I fall Could help me move ahead Then maybe just a bit I will try to walk Mama, why did I ever come into this world? Mama, will I ever reach the answer I seek? Even if I never find it Please don’t let go of me With this borrowed life I will sing it out (I will keep on singing out)
