Mama laid me to sleep When I was a little girl Trying to make ends meet She gave me the whole world Those days are gone Love that lingers on I swear to you I swear to you I ain't letting go She made me what I know I ain't letting go She made me No matter of fact our rages No matter the storms I see No matter the blood hardly When I scrape these things Oh, I will stand I will stand As I awake The blood of man in my veins As are we the same Your history reflected in my face I know I know this love won't give up on me, no Won't give up on me, no I ain't letting go She made me what I know I ain't letting go She made me No matter of fact our rages No matter the storms I see No matter the blood hardly When I scrape these things Oh, I will stand I will stand I will stand I will stand I will stand
