Have you seen my mama 
Walking in my shadow 
Guiding me through dark and light 
I'm blind but I can see 

Ooh have you seen my mama 
Looking down from heaven 
Watching me from up above 
The child I'll always be   

When I look on up 
At the stars at night 
I know one is you ooh 
Shinning down your light 
On my world a distant blue 

Ooh mama since you been gone 
Things ain't the same down here alone 
It's been 34 years now 
Time has flown 
Ooh mama since you been gone 

I can't forget those eyes of pride 
The day my hour of fame arrived 
Lord knows I've thought of you 
Many times since then 

Ya always knew that part of me 
I guess it's just like gravity 
It pulls my mind to you sometimes 
As a mother to a son 

When I look on up 
At the stars at night 
I know one is you 
Shinning down your light 
On my world a distant blue 

Ooh Mama 
Since you been gone 
It's been thirty four years 
How time has flown 

Ooh the road is long 
And the river's so wide 
If I could walk on water 
To those happy times with you 

Have ya seen my mama 
Looking down from heaven 
Watching me from up above 
The child I'll always be 

Ooh when I look on up 
On my world a distant blue ooh 

Ooh mama since you been gone 
Too many times I haven't been strong 
Sometimes it's hard to carry on 
Ooh mama since you been gone 

Sometimes it's hard to carry on 
Ooh mama since you been gone
