Mama told me

When I was young
Simple words are
The truest of all

She taught me
To aim high and rise
With every fall, and I
Crawled back up
Even from the ground

Mama told me
When I was young
That one just needs to see
For the light to be

She pointed to
A distant star
Or a streetlight
Always showing the way

Mama told me
We are never alone
And she's with me
Everywhere I go
