when I woke up, when I opened up my eyes
drinking the sun without blinking
and when I reached out, when i reached out for a sign
holding a gun without sinking
(ooh, it was a fine feeling, ooh, it was a mighty fine feeling)
then i thought about the younger days
when I was looking for a friend
thought about the way my mama would carry me to the end

Chorus: Oh mama, will you carry me again
my eyes are blind without my mama

when I looked up, when i focused on the sky
touching its heart but not stinging
and then i took it and i realized it might
shake like a bell without ringing
(ohh, it was a fine feeling, ohh, it was a mighty fine feeling)
then i thought about the younger days
when i had no-one to fight
thought about the way my mama would carry me through the night

Chorus:solo: Chorus: ENDS...
