Oh Me, Oh My - Lonnie Holley/Michael Stipe

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

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 my

Oh me oh my

Oh me oh my

Mmmm

Mmmm
