House Of Soul — Mama Never Told Me

Mama never told me life could be so hard
She always wore a smile and made it look so easy
She'd hum a little song while the world fell apart
And somehow made the broken things look pretty
I thought the sun would always find its way
The good things came to those who just believed
Nobody told me growing up with me
Learning how to smile while your heart still grieves
Oh, I was young, I couldn't see
Maybe mama wasn't had a life from me
