[Verse 1] Mama… Oh, Mama… It’s time to say goodbye now. But I still don’t know how.... You’ve been tired for so long... ...Too long... ...Maybe you can finally sleep...? [Verse 2] You fought Through hell and high water. And the storms kept coming. Life kept coming at you For reasons I still don’t understand. You didn’t deserve any of it. God knows you didn’t. But you never gave up... No - Not even when you wanted to. Something inside you... Always made you stay... ...Just a little longer... [Chorus] Goodbye… Mama… Goodbye… Mama… I keep telling myself it’s too soon.... But then I remember… ...You were already late.... ...Because of us... Goodbye… Mama… Goodbye… [Bridge] You, who protected me. You, who encouraged me. You, who stood beside me. The last one.... Who kept believing in me... When others laughed, Always, against all odds. These thoughts will keep haunting me... Did I ever give you back enough ? Who knows where I’d be If you hadn’t been there. [Verse 3] I close my eyes, and I still see you smiling. Still see how beautiful you were, And I keep trying to understand. MAMA ! OOOOOOOH, MAMA ! [Verse 4] The world doesn’t know. It never understood. Bruises, a father away, Sickness, a life in pain... But you held on anyway. How could I forget... There is so much of you. In everything I do... How may I forget ? So many things I said. So many times I just didn’t care enough. So many times I closed the door... when you needed me.... Will you forgive me... Mama ?!! [Chorus] Goodbye… Mama… Goodbye… Mama… There’s so much I should’ve told you Before watching you leave. Goodbye… Mama… Goodbye… Mama… [Outro] I know you. You’re up there asking Him questions already. Demanding answers for all this injustice. And me… I’ll keep screaming your name. Until He answers you... I’ll keep screaming your name, Again and again. Goodbye Mama… Goodbye… GOODBYE ! MAMA.
