Sweet mama, oh sweet mama
You give up your comfort, stay awake through the night
When I'm sick and I'm weary, you hold me so tight
Your hands soothe my fever, your love is my light
Mama, what can I give you that measures up right?
Oh my sweet mama, what can I say?
Your love is eternal, it grows every day
As long as I'm living, you'll never know pain
Sweet mama, I promise, Jah bless your name
You sacrifice freely, no thought of return
Every lesson you teach me, every wisdom I learn
From your heart flows a river of grace that runs deep
Mama, these blessings, forever I'll keep
Oh my sweet mama, what can I say?
Your love is eternal, it grows every day
As long as I'm living, you'll never know pain
Sweet mama, I promise, Jah bless your name
Jah bless my mama, one love forever
Sweet mama, we together
