you might be alright
no more holding on to something just to leave you
Mama she said, mama she said
no more running through the alleys in the nighttime
No more running through the alleys in the nighttime, no more running through the wars in the days Running, keep it behind you
No more holding on to something just to leave you, mama she said
hold your head up high
keep your head up high
Mama she said, you might be alright, keep it behind you
you might be alright
You might be alright, no more holding on to something just to leave you, no more running through the alleys in the nighttime
No more holding on to something just to leave you, keep it behind you
No more holding on to something just to leave you, no more holding on to something just to leave you, keep it behind you
no more holding on to something just to leave you
you might be alright
Mama she said, you might be alright
keep your head up high
Keep it behind you, who goes running through those alleys anyway
no more running through the alleys in the nighttime
No more running through the alleys in the nighttime, keep your head up high
Hold your head up high, got to keep him close to you
Hold your head up high, got to keep him close to you, hold your head up high
No more running through the alleys in the nighttime, you might be alright Running, got to keep him close to you
keep it behind you
mama she said
Who goes running through those alleys anyway, you might be alright More, got to keep him close to you
keep it behind you
No more running through the alleys in the nighttime, you might be alright
No more holding on to something just to leave you, hold your head up high More, keep it behind you
Who goes running through those alleys anyway, no more holding on to something just to leave you
Lyrics...
Mama she said,
Got to keep him close to you x2
It might be alright...
Mama she said,
Got to keep him close to you x2
You might be alright...
No more runnin' through the alleys in the night time,
No more runnin' through the wars in the days,
No more holdin' on to something just to leave you,
Who goes runnin' through those alleys anyway...
Mama she said,
Keep it behind, x2
It might be alright...
Mama she said,
Keep it behind, x2
You might be alright...
No more runnin' through the alleys in the night time,
No more runnin' through the wars in the days,
No more holdin' on to something just to leave me,
Who goes runnin' through those alleys anyway...
Mama she said,
Hold your head up high, keep your head up high,
It might be alright...
Mama she said,
Hold your head up high, keep your head up high,
You might be alright...
No more runnin' through the alleys in the night time,
No more runnin' through the wars in the days,
No more holdin' on to something just to leaveyou,
Who goes runnin' through those alleys anyway...
I heard this song and I just couldn't keep my eyes from swelling up with tears.
There are few songs that can make you want to come in just a little closer.
This is one of them.
I WATCHED THE MOVIE, LONG WAY DOWN. WHEN THIS SONG PLAYED...I CRIED. ...MY BRO. WAS MURDERED BEHIND HIS HOUSE IN THE WOODS. IT WAS A LONG WAY DOWN FOR ME BUT HIS WAY DOWN WAS LONGER.. NEVER FOUND HIS KILLER. I CRIED LIKE A BABY. I FOUND THIS SONG HERE, WHEN THE MOVIE ENDED...LOVE YOUR SONG MICHAEL.
This piece of Music was also used in the movie “Hidden Figures”, where the black woman had to run to get to the restroom for coloured staff in NASA. Kevin Costner changed that. “Here in NASA we all pee the same colour!!!”
I love this song. I've been destroyed by drugs
And alcohol for a lot of years. Got some years of sobriety now, so after I saw the
Movie and heard the song it made me
Cry. Out of gratitude of course. Now
When i listen to music I hear angels sing.
The movie was worth watching just to find this tune.I agree, very nice. It took me 15 minutes watching the screen showing me the songs. wonderful song.
