Mama and Papa


Mama don’t you cry
I’ll see you on the other side
Papa don’t be scared
I’ll see you over there

[Repeat]

You had your times
Some bad and some good
Told truths and lies and made promises
Kept the ones you could

You both made mistakes
I’m sure you had regrets
But we are only human
The bad and the good is what we get

Mama don’t you cry
I’ll see you on the other side
Papa don’t be scared
I’ll see you over there

[Repeat]

You made love, had three sons
Gave them life and dreams
And did well enough
Regardless of what it may seem


Through ups and downs
Going round and round and round
Some how you stayed together
Some how you stood your ground

Mama don’t you cry
I’ll see you on the other side
Papa don’t be scared
I’ll see you over there

[Repeat]

What I want you to know
To take along as you go
You played your roles, did your parts
And will always be in our hearts

We’re traveling a ways behind
But all traveling towards our journey’s end
We should travel without sadness
As we may all come together again

Mama don’t you cry
I’ll see you on the other side
Papa don’t be scared
I’ll see you over there

[Repeat]
