Song Lyrics

Mama please come put your arms around me
Cause where I'm standing life's so cold
Come and take on this peaceful journey
I won't be long before I'm gone

I don't understand, how can this be?
Why'd you take your aggravations out on me?
And why'd you leave me here?
So far away from home, my life can go on
But I gotta be strong, keep on holdin' on

Mama please come put your arms around me
Cause where I'm standing life's so cold
Come and take on this peaceful journey
I won't be long before I'm gone

Mama can't you hear me callin' you?
If you don't hear my cry
What am I supposed to do?

Should I embrace the one
That snatched my soul?
What it really means
I'll never know which way I should go

Mama please come put your arms around me
Cause where I'm standing life's so cold
Come and take on this peaceful journey
I won't be long before I'm gone

Mama please come put your arms around me
Cause where I'm standing life's so cold
Come and take on this peaceful journey
I won't be long before I'm gone

Left or right, up or down, these are choices
The end of this life represents the choices we make
The decision to live your life out of tune
With your true nature, limits your external existence this is sad

Beyond this world, beyond this dimension lies incredible knowledge
If we close our minds with fear and ignorance we can't perceive these
Philosophies the universe is based on energy and continuous flow
This energy can be tapped and used we should learn
To use our power of deduction

We should know what to eat from our physiological makeup
We should know that destruction of great minds is monstrous
Because the emotion we posses is human
All these choices are a great lateral, a giant matrix up
A series of crossroads we must travel choose wisely

Mama please come put your arms around me
Cause where I'm standing life's so cold
Come and take on this peaceful journey
I won't be long before I'm gone

Mama please come put your arms around me
Cause where I'm standing life's so cold
Come and take on this peaceful journey
I won't be long before I'm gone
