Cause where I'm standing life's so cold
Come and take on this peaceful journey
I won't be long before I'm gone
I don't understand, how can this be?
Why'd you take your aggravations out on me?
And why'd you leave me here?
But I gotta be strong, keep on holdin' on
Mama please come put your arms around me
Cause where I'm standing life's so cold
Come and take on this peaceful journey
I won't be long before I'm gone
Mama can't you hear me callin' you?
If you don't hear my cry
What am I supposed to do?
Should I embrace the one
That snatched my soul?
What it really means
I'll never know which way I should go
Mama please come put your arms around me
Cause where I'm standing life's so cold
Come and take on this peaceful journey
I won't be long before I'm gone
Mama please come put your arms around me
Cause where I'm standing life's so cold
Come and take on this peaceful journey
I won't be long before I'm gone
Left or right, up or down, these are choices
The end of this life represents the choices we make
The decision to live your life out of tune
With your true nature, limits your external existence this is sad
Beyond this world, beyond this dimension lies incredible knowledge
If we close our minds with fear and ignorance we can't perceive these
Philosophies the universe is based on energy and continuous flow
This energy can be tapped and used we should learn
To use our power of deduction
We should know what to eat from our physiological makeup
We should know that destruction of great minds is monstrous
Because the emotion we posses is human
All these choices are a great lateral, a giant matrix up
A series of crossroads we must travel choose wisely
Mama please come put your arms around me
Cause where I'm standing life's so cold
Come and take on this peaceful journey
I won't be long before I'm gone
Mama please come put your arms around me
Cause where I'm standing life's so cold
Come and take on this peaceful journey
I won't be long before I'm gone

Mama please come put your arms around me
I need comfort and love because I feel alone and isolated
Cause where I'm standing life's so cold
I feel lost and overwhelmed by the difficulties of life
Come and take on this peaceful journey
Please help me find peace and tranquility
I won't be long before I'm gone
I don't know what will happen in the future, but I need help in the present
I don't understand, how can this be?
I am confused and cannot comprehend the situation
Why'd you take your aggravations out on me?
I don't know why you are hurting me when I haven't done anything wrong
And why'd you leave me here?
I feel abandoned and lost without your guidance
So far away from home, my life can go on
Even though I am away from what I know, I still have to keep going
But I gotta be strong, keep on holdin' on
I have to be resilient and keep moving forward
Mama can't you hear me callin' you?
I am calling out for your help and support
If you don't hear my cry, what am I supposed to do?
If you don't understand my pain, I don't know where else to turn
Should I embrace the one that snatched my soul?
Should I forgive the person who hurt me deeply?
What it really means, I'll never know which way I should go
I don't know what the right decision is and it's causing me distress
Left or right, up or down, these are choices
Life presents us with many options and we have to make decisions
The end of this life represents the choices we make
Our choices have consequences that impact our life and legacy
The decision to live your life out of tune
Choosing to not be true to oneself leads to a dissonant life
With your true nature, limits your external existence this is sad
Suppressing your authentic self holds you back and is a tragic loss
Beyond this world, beyond this dimension lies incredible knowledge
There is much to learn beyond our human experience
If we close our minds with fear and ignorance we can't perceive these
Prejudice and lack of education prevent us from seeing the full picture
Philosophies the universe is based on energy and continuous flow
The world is guided by energy and movement
This energy can be tapped and used we should learn
We can harness the energy around us if we educate ourselves
To use our power of deduction
We should use our critical thinking skills to make good choices
We should know what to eat from our physiological makeup
We should be aware of how our body functions and what it needs
We should know that destruction of great minds is monstrous
We should recognize and prevent the loss of valuable contributions
Because the emotion we posses is human
Our emotions are a vital part of our humanity
All these choices are a great lateral, a giant matrix up
Our choices are interconnected and affect each other
A series of crossroads we must travel choose wisely
We will face many crucial decisions in life and must make thoughtful choices
