Intro

Verse 1

She didn't join a feminist group, didn't trade her apron in for a suit

 She stayed home and raised my brothers and me

Some people might call her crazy and some magazine might say she's lazy but

 I got some words that I'd like to speak

Chorus 1

If the world had a momma like mine

There'd be no more hate and love all the time and

There'd be no kids sleeping in our streets

If the world had a momma like mine

There'd be a lot more dancin, a lot more laughin and

Abortion would be a word we didn't speak

 If the world had a momma like mine, whoa

 If the world had a momma like mine

Verse 2

Now that I got two baby girls livin in this cruel, cruel world

I thank God everyday they got a prayin momma

What an example to have a prayin mom and a prayin dad and

a hope one day they can sing this song

Chorus 2

If the world had a momma like mine

There'd be more livin and more givin and

There'd be no violence in our schools

If the world had a momma like mine

There'd be a lot less cryin, a lot less dyin and

The church would be more than just a place we meet

If the world had a momma like mine, whoa

If the world had a momma like mine

Bridge

I wanna thank my momma for every prayer that she prayed

I wanna thank my wife for my girls she's gonna raise

 If the world had a momma like mine

 If the world had a momma like mine

Chorus 3

If the world had a momma like mine

There'd be more prayin and more stayin and

We'd love our neighbor like we love ourselves

If the world had a momma like mine

We would love one another, we wouldn't see color and

The Bible wouldn't collect dust upon our shelves

If the world had a momma like mine, whoa

If the world had a momma like mine

If the world had a momma like mine
