Mama, I always wanted to perform
But you kept telling me Church is the norm
Mama you said, “Sing for the glory of the Lord”
It’s the Heavens being the accord
Before you know it, my Daughter will be on Drugs, Alcohol and partying all hours of the night
I pray because that alone scares me with fright
Girl, God is the guiding light
Why are you so uptight and that you must sing?
Mama, my singing was meant for the world
My tone and pitch will make audiences swirl
I could have the audience on their feet
Mama’s response, but God can’t be beat
Your father and I have always given you inspiration through the church
It’s enrichment of Faith, and remember, God’s word is everlasting
However Mama, despite what you say, I am going on the road to sing
New York is my base, but there’s a world I want to explore
For now Mama, it’s the church I must ignore
Entertainment I must explore
First stop Japan then Europe
My bags are packed
My flight leaves at 6:00 pm
So Long Mama, this is something I must do.
