  • You might say grace is all I've known
    But I've felt pain and its long shadow follow me down every road
    The truth ain't lost on this lost soul
    I still try to make amends, but I ain't holding out much hope

    Seems like every morning starts with me just counting up my sins
    I've got friends that I should call, but I don't make the time for them
    I ain't scared of where I'm going, I ain't proud of where I've been
    Mama loves me, I'm still born again

    So wrap me up in sweet forgiveness
    Take my wrongs and make 'em white
    Take my scars and take my troubles
    Spread my ashes in the wind
    'Cause mama loves me, I'm still born again

    We all get hurt and we all bleed
    But the time has come to reckon with the wounds that buried me
    My best days are not enough
    I remember all the times you loved me just the way I was

    Seems like every morning starts with me just counting up my sins
    I've got friends that I should call, but I don't make the time for them
    I ain't sure of where I'm going, I ain't proud of where I've been
    Mama loves me, I'm still born again

    So wrap me up in sweet forgiveness
    Take my wrongs (take my wrongs) and make them white
    Take my scars and take my troubles
    Spread my ashes in the wind
    Mama loves me, I'm still born again

    (Yeah)

    So wrap me up in sweet forgiveness
    Take my wrongs and make 'em white
    Take my scars and take my troubles
    Spread my ashes in the wind
    Mama loves me, I'm still born again
    Mama loves me, I'm still born again Writer/s: William Rinehart
