Close to, to who I want to be
A little closer to the real me
The truth, though difficult to see
I get closer to mama
Because I know what the basics are
Through the life lessons that you taught
The hidden treasure inside my heart
It's hidden by my mama
Close to, to who I want to be
A little closer to the real me
The truth, though difficult to see
I get closer to mama
So proud when I think of you
Of who you are and of what you do
Generous, and with a heart true
That sounds like my mama
No, we didn't have a ride
So you got on your bike
With 3 kids
So close, but never too close
Cause I know, I know the way home
But in the moment of truth, I know
You will be there, mama
With your norms I maybe played
But your values always safe
Yeah with honour in my life
And with kindness in my eyes
Close to, to who I want to be
A little closer to the real me
I love you to eternity
And way beyond, mama
