Momma, I just called to check up on how you've been,...
I'm sorry that it's taken me so long.
But you know your son's a Rambler,... travelin' like the wind;
Though your prayers have always helped,... to keep me strong.
I know you're probably wondering on why I have made this call,...
Well, lately I've had time to reminisce.
And I've realized that I just can't seem to recall,...
When I've told you what your love has truly meant,... for me.
'Cause when I was lonely,... (Oh, so lonely),... You'd strengthen me with love.
And when I just can't believe,... you'd always help me rise above.
And when I've been blind to see,... (Oh, so blind to see)
Well, you taught me Faith was all I needed.
Momma, how I hope that you can clearly see,...
That you mean the world,... to me.
Now I remember back on when I was just a boy,...
The pain, the tears, the times I've let you down.
Yet you'd rise above and you'd give me love I could not avoid,...
'Cause of you,... I am the Man who stands before you now.
'Cause when I was lying,... (I was lying),... You'd teach me right from wrong.
And when I was crying,... You'd hold me and you'd keep me warm.
When I felt I was dying,... (I was dying),...
Well, you prayed for me down on your knees.
Momma, how I hope that you can clearly see
That you mean the world,... to me.

Momma, I just called to check up on how you've been,...
I'm glad we've had this time to reminisce.
But it's getting late, and I just can't state what I feel within,...
I just hope,... you know what your love has truly meant,... for me.
'Cause now that we're older,... (So much older)
And we see the need for Love.
While this world's getting colder,... We'll help each other rise above.
And if you're needing my shoulder,... (Oh, to lean on)
Then I'll quickly run back home to you.
Momma, please believe me when I say its true
That this silly boy of yours,... Loves You.
