�Mama told me I'm gonna be a star one day� �Woke up in the morning and kissed my face� �Time to go� �You're too special� �To lay around my house and take up space� �You're gonna do something for the human race� �You didn't get my eyes but you got my face� �Now go find some dream to chase� �Mama told me I'm gonna be a star one day� �Went to all the games that I didn't play� �Said stay strong� �It won't take long� �You started off slow but you'll get there quick� �Zip that coat so you don't get sick� �Believe in yourself, boy, that's the trick� �You're building this thing up brick by brick� �She would pick me up from practice� �And she'd take me home from school� �She made me believe in magic� �She knew Santa Claus and the tooth fairy too� �Mama told me I'm gonna be a star one day� �Cried a little bit when I went away� �I grew up and all that stuff� �She told me I need to pick up my phone� �If it doesn't work out you can come back home� �Knew I couldn't go cause I'm too grown� �Gotta figure this out alone� �But she helped me move to my apartment� �In the center of downtown LA� �Hugged me and said you're just getting started� �I know that my star will find a way�
