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
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
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
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
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
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
