Mama, don't cry The house is still standing. The wind might be blowing hard, But the windows are still holding on. Everything's shaking Nothing's secure But Mama, don't cry. The house is still here. Mama, don't cry We still got time. Dry those pretty eyes of yours And crack that smile that I love. Things might be moving fast, But that doesn't mean nothing won't last. I know it's hard Cause the clock keeps ticking away. But Mama, don't cry. We still got time. Mama, don't cry I swear we're never gonna leave. We've been through too much Seen too much To have to say goodbye. You've always been our life jacket Our first aid kit Our glue To hold us up. But the tide is changing, And it's our turn to be Your parachute When you feel like jumping out of this life We're living. So Mama, don't cry. There's so much to look forward to. Time might be erasing What you've worked hard for so long To keep. But that doesn't mean that we can't rebuild on What's been lost.

Mama, don't cry.
Mama, don't cry The house is still standing. The wind might be blowing hard, But the windows are still holding on. Everything's shaking Nothing's secure But Mama, don't cry. The house is still here. Mama, don't cry We still got time. Dry those pretty eyes of yours And crack that smile that I love. Things might be moving fast, But that doesn't mean nothing won't last. I know it's hard Cause the clock keeps ticking away. But Mama, don't cry. We still got time. Mama, don't cry I swear we're never gonna leave. We've been through too much Seen too much To have to say goodbye. You've always been our life jacket Our first aid kit Our glue To hold us up. But the tide is changing, And it's our turn to be Your parachute When you feel like jumping out of this life We're living. So Mama, don't cry. There's so much to look forward to. Time might be erasing What you've worked hard for so long To keep. But that doesn't mean that we can't rebuild on What's been lost.
