Mother Lyrics

Standing by what my mother said

One day, one day I'd be who I wanna be

Ohhhh

Wanna be oh

My mother she told me to have dreams set off high

Climb up mountains and reach greater heights

She said be careful with those who surround you

Cause in the end, the best they betray

Oh mother you have always

Been there for me and that I can't forget

Oh mother you have always

Been there for my needs and I can't neglect

My mother she told me go fetch yourself coffee

Cause darkest times lie ahead

She said be careful with what you thinking

Cause they can drive you insane

Standing by what my mother said,

One day, one day I'd be who I wanna be

Ohhhh

Wanna be oh

Standing by what my mother said,

One day, one day I'd be who I wanna be

Ohhhh

Wanna be oh

I had a dream, I had a vision

Just like others I wished being in television

I aimed for precision, I aimed for succession

But people said it was just a misperception

I'm now in pain, I'm now all drained

I'm now ashamed of the person I became

Standing by what my mother said,

One day, one day I'd be who I wanna be

Ohhhh

Wanna be oh

Standing by what my mother said,

One day, one day I'd be who I wanna be

Ohhhh

Wanna be oh
