Momma To You

I've been waiting a long time
I know you're like me but a little bit wilder
When he touches me, I feel you there
I imagine your eyes and your black hair

So I've been making a place for you
Not with a cradle but with each thing I do
To make myself a better woman
I hope I can become her

Could you wait a little bit longer?
Every day I get stronger
I heal those hurts inside
I make room so I can make life

So I can be momma to you
momma to you, momma to you
A good momma to you

I want to tell you that dreams come true
But first I've got to prove it
I don't ever want to use you
For things I want but did not do

Could you wait a little bit longer?
Every day I get closer
I find those dreams I held inside
I let 'em out, I let 'em fly

So I can be momma to you
momma to you, momma to you
A good momma to you

I'm scared to death
All this anger and sadness
I'll take it out on you
Oh I don't want to
I've got so much doubt
I've got so much hope

I won't tell you what the world says
I'll ask you who you are
And what you came here for
