All because life is very hard
You've been walking for many years
And life has treated you so unfair
You are sleeping in burning sun
Yet your pay they never come
Spite of all the good you do
They all turn their backs on you
Knows the pain you feel, mama
Many of them really think for true
Happiness isn't good for you
So they do all that's possible
To make your life miserable
But like a lioness you stand and fight
And defeat them with all your might
Show them that you are a survivor
Who will never crack on the pressure
No one, no one knows the pains you feel,
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my.
My, my, my never cease to care
for the children that she bear.
She made sure we had food to eat.
Now today they all are grown
They left Mama to struggle all alone
But with a wish she don't say die
She always find a way to make it by
Knows the pains you feel, Mama
No one, no one knows the pains you feel
Mama, mama, I see you're sad
All because life is very hard
You've been working for many years
And life has treated you so unfair
You have seen the burning sun
Yet your fear did never come
In of all the good you do
They all turn their backs on you
Knows the pain you feel, mama
No one, no one knows the pain you feel
Cause this brand new feelin' goes on
