Mama always told me, child
A little dab'll do ya
Get you through it
That'll do it
She said just a little faith
Is all it takes to prove it
That'll do it, that'll do it

All this time
Been reaching for the sky
Still won't compromise
No no, no
What's the price
I'll make the sacrifice
I'm reaching for the prize
Yeah yeah

Everyone won't always
Understand the why
Behind the passion that I feel inside
My mama always used to tell me
To keep looking forward
And don't ever look back
And when your faith is growing weary
Trust and you'll see
All your dreams come true

Mama always told me, child
A little dab'll do ya
Get you through it
That'll do it
She said just a little faith
Is all it takes to prove it
That'll do it, that'll do it

Come what may
I am here to stay
Never run away, no no
I can say that when I kneel to pray
Courage for each day
Oh yes there is

Looking to the future
Through the eyes of faith
The lowly try to get the best of me
Mama said you just can't let it happen
You've gone too far
And you can't turn back
You can never turn back
Even though it's just a little further
I can tell ya
It's much closer than you know
Closer than you know

Mama always told me that, child
A little dab'll do ya
Get you through it
That'll do it
She said just a little faith
Is all it takes to prove it
That'll do it, that'll do it
(repeat)

Get up, gotta keep your head up
The rest are getting fed up
So pick yourself up off the ground
It's gonna come around
You know he'll wait around
Get up, it's gonna get better
So keep your head up
Off the ground, it's gonna come around
You betta keep reaching
(repeat)

Mama always told me, child
A little dab'll do ya
Get you through it
That'll do it
She said just a little faith
Is all it takes to prove it
That'll do it, that'll do it
(repeat till fade)
