Mama, how's the corn growin' out behind the house?
How's that old wind blowin' down south?
People are different out here
Like you said theyґd be
But most times the one that feels different
Is me.

I can see your eyes shine
As I drove away,
You and daddy standinґ there as I was
Off to find my way...

Well, Iґm your son
Shining for you.
Youґre the one reason that I can
Do the things I do.
And if it wasnґt
For your wind in my sails
Iґd be headinґ down stream,
Mama, youґre the reason I believe.

Things have certainly changed,
Iґd say for the good
But you never doubted that they would.
Mama, Iґve never seen so many people
Whoґd give it away in the race
If they could have one ounce of your faith...

If they could have
Seen your eyes shine as I drove away,
You and daddy standinґ there as I was
Off to find my way...

Iґm your son
Shining for you.
Youґre the one reason that I can
Do the things I do.
And if it wasnґt
For your wind in my sails
Iґd be headinґ down stream,
Mama, youґre the reason I believe
