Mama's Only Child

When I was a young boy,
my mother did say
son when you grow
up it will all be ok

And now that i'm older
I truly believe
that nobodies perfect
despite what you see

"son when your world
comes crumbling down,
smile cuz you're not alone"

Because every one breaks
and everyone burns
and everyone loses and misses a turn
Everyone crumbles once in a while,
but keep your head up,
you're your mama's only child

Don't take it for granted,
this little life that you lead
for while there may not be glamor in all that you see...
To live is a blessing,
to love is a dream
one day when you're older,
you'll see what I mean

and when you realize that life all works out in the end
you will smile, cuz you're not alone

Because every one breaks
and everyone burns
and everyone loses and misses a turn
Everyone crumbles once in a while,
but keep your head up,
you're your mama's only child
