lyrics

Found myself in a seedy bar in a worn out part of town
Filled with smoke and lonely folks whose lives had let them down
The woman sitting next to me just laid her mother in the ground
She dreamed of heaven, a happy place where her loved ones could be found

She said
I wanna see my mama someday
I wanna see my mama someday

She asked if someone's up there keeping an eye out for us all
I said I don't believe in god but I understand the draw
I told her how my grandma died in a hospital nightgown
And I never got to say goodbye 'cause I was off in a college town

And I wanna see my grandma someday
Yeah I wanna see my grandma someday

She took a drag off her cigarette and asked me why I don't believe
I cited lack of evidence and the evil that I see
She confessed she hadn't been to church now going on ten years
Said she just couldn't bear the sound of hypocrisy and fear

But I still wanna see my mama someday
I still wanna see my mama someday

I said well isn't it convenient? Ain't it just too easy?
That everything I want is up there waiting just for me?
And if this is our only life don't let it pass you by
Live every single moment like you know you're gonna die

She tried to force a smile as tears rolled down her face
She stood up off her bar stool and gave me a long embrace
It seemed like an eternity before she finally let me go
Said, "Thank you for your honest words, they helped me more than you can know."

She wants to see her mama someday
She wants to see her mama someday
