"Soul Salvation" lyrics - SONNY LANDRETH

When the world comes down on me
I don't feel each and every pound on me
Because there's something that I know
That lightens up my load
Here it is:

Mama, you're my soul salvation
You are my soul salvation

Only you
Pray for me the way you do
Even when I need help
To save me from myself
Yes, indeed

Mama, you're my soul salvation
You are my soul salvation

Whatever the burden that darkens my brow
You pull the curtain that lets me see out
And if my glass is half empty, too
I raise it half full just because of you

So here's to you
For loving me the way you do
Just to see it in your eyes
Sets my spirit to rise
And if I should slip at all
You break my fall
With a smile

Mama, you're my soul salvation
You are my soul salvation
