Mama Hold My Hand

cross this road...

when i was just a little boy
well i would go out to play
and i would wander so far from home
that i would lose my way
and i'd call on my mama to help me and she'd come right away
to help me get back home where i wanna be
and here's what i say


mama hold my hand
i dont think i can cross this road by myself
mama hold my hand
i dont think i can cross this road by myself

and when i was a young man
i would go astray
didnt want nobody to hold my hand
wanted to make my own way
and my mama would come out to help me
but i push her away
cause i just wanted to be on my own
and heres what i say


Mama leave my hand
i've been waiting to cross this road by myself
cross this road
by myself

well now that i'm a grown man
and i've moved away
i got house a 9to5
and my wife got a kid on the way

mama told me that lifes gonna of
take it day by day
but every once in a while i get scared
and i wish i could say

mama hold my hand
i dont think i can cross this road by myself
mama hold my hand
i dont think i can cross this road by myself

now my mama is near the end of her years
and her hair is grey
sometimes i call her
to ask her if she would like to spend the day
mama used to be strong but she aint now
and she cant make her way
thats why im always around when she needs help
and heres what i say

mama hold my hand
i dont think you can cross this road by yourself
mama hold my hand
i dont think you can cross this road by yourself

Saw this man at the weekend at Nottingham's Rock City, and it was one of the most amazing gigs I've ever been too.

His soulful style reminds me very much of a modern day Jackson 5. I had my pic taken with him after, but it deleted itself (boohoo!), but if you get the chance to see him live, you definitely should! 

In the meantime, get his CD on your ipod!

The rest of the weekend was lovely :) Lots of Starbucks hot chocolate, and my first proper experience of Nottingham.

It was strange that lots of their shops seemed shut down and deserted =/ but we managed to find the town centre, and their amazing Christmas market! As well as their main street for all the restaurants - take note, Slug and Lettuce on a Monday, food is 50% off. Was soooo tasty!!

Also, the best pub in Nottingham is called the Horn in the Hand. Pint for under 2 quid. Take note if you're ever in the area!

Such a brilliant weekend :)

Can't wait for Christmas now!!
