I was lost and alone
Away from the soil of Alabama
My dreams had flown
And I so missed my mamma
You took away my fears
And wiped away my tears
A new life had beckoned me
Wealth and success seemed easy
I never gave a second thought
That life might tease me
You took away my fears
And wiped away my tears
You found me, an angel of mercy
You took away my fears
And promised never to hurt me
And you wiped away my tears
You took away my fears
And wiped away my tears.
