    Lyrics
    Mhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
    Cross this road
    Mhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
    When I was just a little boy
    I would go to play
    And I would wonder so far from home
    That I would lose my way
    Then I call my Mama to help me
    And she came right away
    To help me get back home, where I wanna be
    And here's what I say
    Mama hold my hand
    I don't think I can cross this road by myself
    Mama hold my hand
    I don't think I can cross this road by myself
    Then when I was younger
    I would go astray
    Didn't wont nobody to hold my hand
    Wanted to make my own way
    Mama hold my hand
    I don't think I can cross this road by myself
    Mama hold my hand
    I don't think I can cross this road by myself

    This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard about a son to his mother. I cried so hard when I listened to it I immediately called my mom to thank her. Whoever has anything negative to say about this song must be heartless.

      "Whoever has anything negative to say about this song must be heartless." Not everyone had a mother who gave enough of a shit to hold their hand when they were scared. Some people have abusive mothers, and they're still bitter about it. Must be nice to have had such a supportive mother that you now feel confident enough to judge other people like this.

      My son is getting married on August 21, of this year, 2021. This is the song he chose for "our" dance at the reception. I just know that I'm going to lose it. I told my son that he may have to help me out a little to get through it.
      He promised that he would.

    my fav artist. yes he is "the man". he came to my city in new Zealand. I was at the end of the stage with my daughter on my shoulders while all the drunk peeps were in the middle, as soon as he came out on stage he ran over to where we were and gave my little girl a big wave. she waved back and he smiled at her. a true gentleman! thanks for what u do bro. one love!!!!

    My mother passed away when I was only 9 years old I cry all the time because I'm so lost without her and when times get hard I wish she was still here to hold my hand, to hug me and tell me everything is going to be alright. I miss her dearly and can't wait to see her again. When its all over.😪

    My son has dealt with depression off and on through his teenage and young adult life. He was living about 4 hours away from me and one day I had a message and he sent this to me. I had forgotten all about it and until I saw The Beats commercial with Colin Kaepernick. I loved that song and just did a google search and found this song. It made me cry and made me regret all the times I was a crappy mom to my sons. I love them dearly

    Best feeling relaxing listening to an artist that touches the senses, makes you feel love and speaks life through his music. One of the best artist out there. I love that I can personally relate to nearly every song he makes. With this, I reminisce on the love for my mother. Perfection in this masterpiece.
