I’ve been waiting a long time   I know you’re like me but a little bit wilder   When he touches me, I feel you there   I imagine your eyes and your black hair      So I’ve been making a place for you   Not with a cradle but with each thing I do   To make myself a better woman   I hope I can become her      Could you wait a little bit longer?   Every day I get stronger   I heal those hurts inside    I make room so I can make life      So I can be momma to you   momma to you, momma to you   A good momma to you      I want to tell you that dreams come true   But first I’ve got to prove it   I don’t ever want to use you    For things I want but did not do      Could you wait a little bit longer?   Every day I get closer   I find those dreams I held inside    I let ‘em out, I let ‘em fly       So I can be momma to you   momma to you, momma to you   A good momma to you      I’m scared to death   All this anger and sadness    I’ll take it out on you   Oh I don’t want to   I’ve got so much doubt   I’ve got so much hope      I won’t tell you what the world says   I’ll ask you who you are   And what you came here for
