When i was a young boy,
My mother did say "son when you grow up, it will all be ok".
And now that i'm older,
You know, i truly believe that nobody's perfect
Despite what you see.

And when your world comes crumbling down,
Smile cause you're not alone.

Cause everyone breaks,
And everyone burns,
And everyone loses,
And misses a turn.
Everyone crumbles once in a while.
But keep your head up,
Cause you're your mama's only child.

Don't take it for granted,
This little life that you lead.
For while there may not be glamor
In all that you see.
To live is a blessing,
And to love is a dream.
One day when you're older,
Well you'll see what i mean.

And when you realize that life all works out in the end
You'll smile, cause you're not alone.

Cause everyone breaks,
And everyone burns,
And everyone loses,
And misses a turn.
Everyone crumbles once in a while.
But keep your head up,
You're your mama's only child.

You're your mama's only child.
You're your mama's only child.
