I had a dream one night, That you were here with me...
I woke up that morning, With a smile from ear to ear
It felt so damn real, You were tucking me in...
Telling me the same old story, That I'm used to listening
And I forgive you, Ma...
You're the reason I'm here...
I forgive you, Ma, For all the tears...
I know you are up there, Looking down from your star...
Am I making you proud, Do you think that I'll go far...
Now will you please just reach me, Tell me that you can fly..
Would you please come down and teach me, 'Cause I would like to give it a try
And I forgive you, Ma, Your the reason I'm here
Ya, I forgive you, Ma, For all the tears
I forgive you ma, Your the reason I'm here
And I forgive you ma, For all the tears...
For all the tears...I forgive you ma
