	Story Behind the Song This was written in January 2000, and recorded in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, with vocals added later in Hong Kong. I like the friendly bouncy feel of the song. Upon hearing the song one might think I spend a lot of time worrying about my son. And one would be right (smile). The guitar riff was a bit inspired by one of my favorite all time songs, Genesis' "Keep it Dark." Lyrics MAMA YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE 1. Mama you're the only one to see that that boy never hurts anyone He thinks he's in a war that's gotta be won and he can't see what you see Mama he's just a troubled kid, he's missin' his dad and all the things that they did Now you're the one got to help him get rid of the anger in his heart Love's the way to stop that war, love's what he's created for And you're the one he can't ignore -- he'll listen to what you say... and a boy's got to have a woman show him the way 2. Mama you're the light inside, you dried his tears every time that he cried If he loses his way, you got to be his guide or his pride's gonna get too strong Mama teach your children peace, make that kid your masterpiece Teach him to forgive, teach him how to release the fire in his heart Love's the way to stop that war, love's what he's been longin' for And you're the one he can't ignore -- he'll listen to what you say... and a boy's got to have a woman show him the way His spiritual journey's only just begun Mama gonna help that boy to find an angel inside, shinin' just like my sun 3. Mama teach him right from wrong, show him how to give to get along We got nothin' to fear, I just want to hear the song inside his heart Love's the way to stop that war, love's what he's created for And you're the one he can't ignore -- he'll listen to what you say... and a boy's got to have a woman show him the way c) Paul Meredith, 2000
