Olmec: Music

Ma Says

(Olmec)

Olmec

You are a flower
I'm thinkin' of you every hour
You're giving me strength and power.
Like the river that's flowing
You seem to know where your currents are going
And I can see your candles glowing.

And Ma says
Don't let life get you down, Son
Ma says
Don't let life get you down
Ma says
Don't let life get you down
Oh no, don't you let it, don't you let it get you down, oh no.

Existing on your loving smile
I believe it's gonna hold me for awhile
For your love I'll walk miles and miles.
Drinking wine from my life's grapes
You know you can open up the gates
To love and joy and peace of mind.
You know why?

'Cause the woman says
Don't let life get you down, Son
Ma says
Don't let life get you down
Ma says
Don't let life get you down
On no, don't you let it, don't you let it get you down, oh no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Mountains in the distance
With the moon standing over them
The wind whistles a merry song
We listen to the music
We listen to the music
We listen to the music. It's all right.
You know why?

'Cause my Ma says
Don't let life get you down, Son
Ma says
Don't let life get you down
Ma says
Don't let life get you down, oh no,
Don't you let it, don't you let it get you down, oh no.
No, no, no.
