Lonnie Holley & Michael Stipe - Oh Me, Oh My

Oh Me, Oh My

Mmm
Oh me oh my
Oh me oh my
Oh me oh my
Oooh
Oh me oh my
Humans please listen
Because sometime it’s alright
To wonder a little deeper
I suggest you all go as deep as you can
Because I believe
The deeper we go
The more chances there are
For us to understand
Understand the oh me's and understand the oh my's
Oh me oh my
Oh me oh my
Sometimes I sit alone in the corner
As tears roll down from my eyes
I let them fall, I let them fall
I will let them fall
Oh me oh my
Oh me oh my
Oh me oh my
Oh me oh my
Oh me oh my
Every now and then
We get a chance to show our abilities
I remember when I was a little bitty boy
There was this song Lift Every Voice and Sing
As we grow we learn each other more and more and more
We learn how precious life is
And the oh me and the oh my turns into the oh us
Oh us
I thought about how grandmama used to be down on her knees
How mama used to not be able to get up off her knees
After giving birth to baby after baby after baby after baby
And now I understand why she said these words
Oh me oh me and oh my oh my
In a graceful manner
In a thankful way
Every day that we have
Oh me oh my
Oh me oh me oh my oh my
Oh me oh me oh my oh my
Oh me oh my
Mmmm
Mmmm
