Mama Please

This old world is consuming me
Breaking my young soul
Tired already and I've just begun
I'm losing all control

I don't want to keep going on
I find each day a fight
It's a battle of good and evil
And I always do what's right

But most times right isn't easy
So I am wearing away
Sticking out from this crowd
Like the sun on a rainy day

I feel these tears are coming
Welling up behind my eyes
And I was wondering mama
Would you hold me tonight?

Remember when I was little
I could always run to you
You'd hold me tight in your arms
When I knew not what to do

For old times sake, for my heart
Would you hold me tonight?
Rock me in your gentle arms
Tell me it's gonna be all right

'Cause I'm not so sure anymore
About this big old world
Instead of being strong and firm
I'm a scared little girl

So for old times sake, for my heart
Would you hold me close tonight?
Rocke me in your gentle arms
Tell me it's gonna be all right

Sing me a sweet lullaby
Like the way you used to do
Oh mama for just one last night
Would you hold me close to you?
