You've never been away from the sea, child You're gonna need a helping hand A fish has got to learn to swim on land!
Walk with me, little girl Don't you be afraid Follow me, little girl Let me be your guide A pretty thing like you Will need a thing or two And whatever you need Mama will provide
Oh Down the road, little girl You may lose your way All alone in a world That may seem too wide But sit on Mama's lap And I will draw a map And whatever you need Mama will provide
I'll provide you
Moss!
To soften the road
Rocks!
To sit on!
Trees!
To sleep underneath!
Sand
Fun for your toes
Plantain!
To fill up your belly
Breeze!
To fan your face
Grass!
For making your bed
Mosquitoes?
Ha!
Bugs will bite little girl And the night will fall All alone in the dark You'll be terrified But you will make it through 'Cause I am liking you! And whatever you need Mama will provide!
Oh Walk with me, little girl And I'll take you far Round each bend, little friend I'll be by your side That's what a Mama's worth To give her child the earth! And whatever you need Mama will Provide!
