And life will happen real fast like a pinprick
And sometimes you're not even warned
Yeah, life will happen so quick in a heartbeat
You dangle from threads badly torn

(Chorus:)
Sometimes we run
Sometimes we crawl
Sometimes there's just
No hope at all
So this is the cost
This is the cost
For all that is lost
All that is lost

And night will fall sometimes swifter than raindrops
And hold you too close to its chest
Your hands so strong have turned awfully skinny
No break if you're put to the test

(Chorus)

Mamma's gonna make you believe
There are better days over that hill
Mamma's gonna make you believe
That good things are happening still

Mamma's gonna give you the world
Though the world is maybe last on your list
Mamma's gonna cradle your heart
Your heart is right in her fist

(Chorus)
