She didn't join a feminist group, didn't trade her apron in for a suit
                                            D5

   If the world had a momma like mine

There'd be no more hate and love all the time and
F#5                                       D5
There'd be no kids sleeping in our streets

There'd be a lot more dancin, a lot more laughin and

If the world had a momma like mine

Verse 2
Now that I got two baby girls livin in this cruel, cruel world
I thank God everyday they got a prayin momma
What an example to have a prayin mom and a prayin dad and
a hope one day they can sing this song

Chorus 2
If the world had a momma like mine
There'd be more livin and more givin and
There'd be no violence in our schools
If the world had a momma like mine
There'd be a lot less cryin, a lot less dyin and
The church would be more than just a place we meet
If the world had a momma like mine, whoa
If the world had a momma like mine

If the world had a momma like mine

Chorus 3
If the world had a momma like mine
There'd be more prayin and more stayin and
We'd love our neighbor like we love ourselves
If the world had a momma like mine
We would love one another, we wouldn't see color and
The Bible wouldn't collect dust upon our shelves
If the world had a momma like mine, whoa
If the world had a momma like mine
If the world had a momma like mine

End: F#5   E5
