Mama Me from Dedication by Mirah

This is what my body does
I make the milk to fill you up
I grew you from a little bean
Into a brand new human on the scene

My arms are full all of the time
Sweet baby I sing nursery rhymes
But sometimes you just cry and cry
And you still can’t tell us why, oh why

So we’ll guess at how to make you smile
And when you do your body shines
You squirmy worm, you sunlight beam
You are the baby of my dreams

I’m your mama, and I love you
And I can’t wait to see
All the things that will fascinate you
All the ways you’ll be

You’re my baby and this is crazy
Sometimes I’m so tired
But it doesn’t matter ’cause being your mama
Fills up the air in my tires

And I roll, roll, roll, roll
A thousand miles an hour
The laundry I fold, fold, fold, fold
Then we stand in the garden and look at the flowers

Oh my baby you’ve grown, grown, grown, grown
We’re stacking the blocks and building a tower
You know I hold, hold, hold, hold
My baby with the power

I hold, hold, hold, hold
My baby with the power
Of my Ma ma ma Me, Ma ma ma Me
Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
