Mama Said lyrics

My heart's on fire But I can't give up I've had this dream forever Still I doubt my luck When things get scary And I'm missing home There's a voice I always reach for When I need it most Oh mama said You should always take the leap If you go and scrape your knees You're not gonna bleed forever When I was young And I couldn't fall asleep She would come and sing to me Now it's in my head forever She taught me manners But never compromise I got a little of her courage Wish I got her eyes Bluer than the ocean On our front drive Been a while since I've been there Always in my mind Oh mama said You should always take the leap If you go and scrape your knees You're not gonna bleed forever When I was young And I couldn't fall asleep She would come and sing to me Now it's in my head forever
