Close to, to who I want to be A little closer to the real me The truth, though difficult to see I get closer to mama Because I know what the basics are Through the life lessons that you taught The hidden treasure inside my heart It's hidden by my mama Close to, to who I want to be A little closer to the real me The truth, though difficult to see I get closer to mama So proud when I think of you Of who you are and of what you do Generous, and with a heart true That sounds like my mama No, we didn’t have a ride So you got on your bike With 3 kids So close, but never too close Cause I know, I know the way home But in the moment of truth, I know You will be there, mama With your norms I maybe played But your values always safe Yeah with honour in my life And with kindness in my eyes Close to, to who I want to be A little closer to the real me I love you to eternity And way beyond, mama
