This is for the lonely ones
The ones that fear the daylight
The ones who disappear
They hide their face from all the world
Take no space, they're never heard
Scared they might get burned
Scared of what they'll learn

They don't know they shape the earth
With everything they're made of
The special way they shine
They pour a glow on all they touch, a thank you is not enough
Of all the fruit that they have sewn
I'm the one who's grown the most

Mama, sister
It's okay now
You've done all you can now
I'm gonna be fine now

You will never know
The troubles they have come through
Their smiles are like a gift
The rarest home that you could dream of
It's not a beauty you could speak of
For all the things you kindly gave
I give my thanks to you this way

Mama, sister
It's okay now
I'm gonna be fine now
You've done all you can now

Mama, sister
It's okay now
You've done all you can now
I'm gonna be fine now

(You're) now's the time
(My) to take your place
(Reason) and let the sun shine on your face

Mama, sister
It's okay now
You've done all you can now
I'm gonna be fine now

Mama, sister
It's okay now
You've done all you can now
I'm gonna be fine now
