Mama I don't ever want to see you cry
   If then they knew him
   They'd have passed right by
   Oh Joseph's a man of many women, feel no way
   Oh always remember you are the first of them
  
   So oh Mama
   If they could see where we are coming from
   The other day
   Then they would know just where they belong
   If they could see where you're coming from
   Just the other day
   They would know just where they belong
  
   Let stumbling blocks fall out of your way
   Lord know, Lord knows your reward shall be great
   They were broken off through their lack of faith
   But because of your faith you are still in place
   Woe Mama, if they could see where you're coming from
   Just the other day
   Then they would know just where you are coming from
   If they could see where you are coming from
   Just the other day
   Then they would know just where they belong
  
   Solo
  
   Ah my children
   Oh Mama
   Fret not for me
   I know Jah will be there
   Eternally
  
   If they could see where we are coming from
   Just the other day
   Then they would know just where they belong
   If they could see where we are coming from
   Then they would know just where they belong
  
   Mama I don't ever want to see you cry
   Ain't no lie
   If then they knew him
   They would have passed right by
   So many called but you were chosen
   And so you will remain outspoken
   Oh Mama
   If they could see where we are coming from
   Just the other day
   Then they would know just where they belong
