Mama

Written by：Ryan Cayabyab

Mama she wrote me a letter

Saying she's gonna be fine

Please take good care of your sister

I'll be home in three years time

Mama it seems like forever

You've been gone since I was five

They say you were a good teacher

In the same school where I can't survive

Mama's a maid in London

I want to believe that she's fine

She could be lonely in London

I want to know why she had to go

I need her I want to be near her

I've got to be with her

And see to it that we're together

Once more

My English teacher she told me

She wants to be where you are

Mama she's leaving her family

To earn all the money she wants

London Vancouver or Hong Kong

Governess housekeeper or nurse

What is to happen to all of us children

With mothers who travel so far

Mama's a maid in London

I want to believe that she's fine

She could be lonely in London

I want to know why she had to go

I need her I want to be near her

I've got to be with her

And see to it that we're together

Once more

Once more
