Sir Sly – Oh Mama lyrics

[Intro]
One day, one day, one day
One day

[Verse 1]
In San Francisco and the world is ending
Out the car, I see a load of family
Don't have a clue what I'm allowed to say
But you're not saying anything
Cause the dead don't speak in dreams
But you don't seem dead to me

[Verse 2]
Here the chopper gang is passing
Holy rollers with their judgment casting
Will you still visit me in dreams?
Cause I miss you more than it seems
Could you stay a moment?
Cause I can't reach you any other way and I've been lonely

[Chorus]
One day (yeah), one day
One day I'm gonna sing with you again
Oh, mama

[Verse 3]
You showed your face again last night
It was healthy and I was surprised
Sat and listened and you let me tell you
Everything in life is like a living hell, yeah
But the dead don't speak in dreams
All suddenly, you don't know me
I tell you you can stay awhile
You forget your brain is not the same
And then I force a smile

[Chorus]
One day, I'm gonna sing with you again
Oh, mama, that's right
One day (yeah), one day
One day I'm gonna sing with you again
Oh, mama
One day (yeah), oh, mama
One day, I'm gonna sing with you again
Sing with you again

[Bridge]
Yeah
Still going on, this whole...dream
Oh, dream

[Recording: Landon Jacobs's mother]
Hey, love-dove, it's Mom
And I saw I missed a call from you, which broke my heart
[over-exaggerates a fake sob]
But, um, anyway, I miss you terribly
And hopefully you can call back
And, maybe, I don't know if you needed something or you were just calling to say hi
But... I don't need anything; I just wanted to say hi
I love you! Bye

[Chorus]
One day, I'm gonna sing with you again
Oh, mama
One day, I'm gonna sing with you again
Oh, mama
Know it's true
One day, I'm gonna sing with you again
Oh, mama, oh, mama
One day, I'm gonna sing with you again
Oh, mama (yeah)

[Post-Chorus (choir)]
(One day, one day, one day)
I'm gonna sing with you again (One day, I'll sing with you)
Oh, mama
(One day, one day, one day) (One day, I'll sing)
I'm gonna sing with you again
(One day, one day, one day)
Oh, mama (Oh, I'm gonna sing with you again)
I'll sing with you again
(One day, one day, one day) (One day, one day, oh)
Oh, mama

[Outro]
The last three years, I lost my holy trinity
I lost you, lost my river, and my old belief
I spent so much time being worried and afraid of how things might end
But oh, mama, one day I'm gonna sing
I'm gonna sing with you again
