mama's boy

how will your garden ever bear fruit

if you never take time to nurture the roots

its easy to overstand

you got no future plans

your arms are scrawny and your skin is pale

you got no dirt under your fingernails

you got a lot to learn

but you got money to burn

mama's boy

daddy's little girl

cut of the umbilical get out into the world

you've been hanging on too long little darling

i think its about time for you to spread your own wings

and you'll find that in time you'll be fine once you learn a few things

you have longed for this song for so long now its your turn to sing

and you'll know that you've grown once your own wings have flown

and you'll find a new home that you can call your own

but your never gonna know if you never go and sew your seeds

and become whole no you're never gonna fly if you never try to reach the heights

mama's boy

daddy's little girl

cut of the umbilical get out into the world you'll see things that you never dreamed of

step out in the world and you might even find love

mama's boy

daddy's little girl

cut off the umbilical get out into the world you'll see

things you never knew existed

the world was passing by and all this time you missed it

and if you're afraid just to make a mistake

well rewards only come out of chances you take

so break free from the mold

stop doing just as your told

out beyond the end you might make a few new friends

and if you are lost and you can't find your way

your tongue is all tied

you can't find the words to say

look into your bones

the truth is etched there in stone

it has always been waiting

for your heart to be awakened

and you'll return

standing firm in all you've learned

ready to be a teacher

you have longed for this song for so long now its your turn to be the singer

and your voice will carry

echo through the valleys

like a trumpet set free in three part harmony

if you really wanna see what there is to see

fulfill your destiny

unfold the mysteries

then step into the wild blue

take a look inside you

set yourself free

how will your garden ever bear fruit

if you never take time to nurture the roots

its easy to overstand

you got no future plans

your arms are scrawny and your skin is pale

you got no dirt under your fingernails

you got a lot to learn

but you got money to burn

mama's boy

daddy's little girl

cut of the umbilical get out into the world

you'll never learn to pick yourself up if you never fall

so cut off the umbilical
