about

I was trying to tap into some positive energy and I found it thinking about my Mother. She is the best, and although this song does little to portray it, I hope it is a token.

lyrics

My Mom

Sometimes my mama calls me the music man
Little bit of her love and I think I can
Calm the beast, sing it to sleep

Mama’s got a voice as soft as wheat
Gold as the sunlight tickling God’s feet
She don’t know, how she glows

Cause’ there ain’t nothing sweeter than a mother’s love
From a man on earth or in the skies up above
You can sing alleluia all you want
But I’ve only met one angel and that’s my mom

Fingertip of ginger for a tummy ache
A fresh aloe leaf cools the burning bake
But your touch, takes the pain

There were Eskimo kisses, and Chinese back rubs
There was the divorced neighbor that needed a hug
Lessons learned, that I didn’t earn

Cause’ there ain’t nothing sweeter than a mother’s love
From a man on earth or in the skies up above
You can sing alleluia all you want
But I believe in heaven met because I’ve met my mom

Well someday I’ll be staring at the underground
Watching dandelions springing yellow crowns
Promising, you’re here with me

And when I wake with worries in the middle of dreams
About the couple next door without means
I’ll be at peace, and follow your lead

Cause’ there ain’t nothing sweeter than a mother’s love
From a man on earth or in the skies up above
You can sing alleluia all you want
But I’ve only met one angel and that’s my mom

Sometimes my mama calls me the music man
Little bit of her love and I think I can
Calm the beast, sing it to sleep

about

Ben Bailey Music Provo, Utah

In the footsteps of my older brother Sam, I picked up the guitar at age 13 to start writing songs. I started in a ska band called Six Foot Midgets, although lets be honest we never could get a horn's section, but then realized I needed the vibrations of an acoustic to resonate my innereds. I have been trying to be honest to those deeper struggles ever since. Thought provoking and heart felt ... more
