In and out of lockdown
Whole shop shut down
No one around, police patrol the street
You can't shake the hands of the people you meet
Strange land, people sidestepping
Shuffling, voices all muffled
Fear in the eyes of the vulnerable
I guess you never know when it's gon' come for you
Whatever mama said, it's alright with me
Mama said don't go out tonight, it's alright, alright
Whatever mama said, it's alright with me
Mama said don't go out tonight, it's alright, alright
I'm not going out tonight
Just thoughts of you keep me sane despite
Hard times, darkness left and right
But I still see the light
In this new reality
Imagine just how nice it will be
You and me, free, under a tree
Holding hands, no mask in between
Whatever mama said, it's alright with me
Mama said don't go out tonight, it's alright, alright
Whatever mama said, it's alright with me
Mama said don't go out tonight, it's alright, alright
We on the up now
Heading out of lockdown
People around, no more lonely streets
When will these serious times be just a memory?
This thing that lives inside of you and me
And could it be
Mother Nature shaking us off like fleas
So value our time with our family
This is our destiny
Let's practice empathy
And fight the good fight and hope for victory
Whatever mama said, it's alright with me
Mama said don't go out tonight, it's alright, alright
Whatever mama said, it's alright with me
Mama said don't go out tonight, it's alright, alright
It's a new day, new way
Drawing strength from the earth in which we eventually lay
Keep your head above the water
It rolls down my cheeks and I think about my daughter
Tryna keep my head up out the clouds
My sons do me proud
And even though I can't be there
I say it loud
