This one is special. I quoted the whole damn song.
"When I was just a little boy, I would go out to play...and, I would wander so far from home that I would lose my way. Then, I'd call on my mama to help me, and she'd come right away...to help me get back home where I wanna be, and here's what I'd say:
Mama hold my hand, I don't think I can cross this road by myself.
And, when I was a young man, I would go astray...didn't want nobody to hold my hand, wanted to make my own way. And, my mama would come to help me but, I pushed her away...'cause I just wanted to be on my own, and here's what I'd say:
Mama leave my hand, I've been waiting to cross this road by myself.
Well, now that I'm a grown man, I done moved away. I got a house, a 9-5 and my wife, e got a kid on the way, mama told me that life's gonna get rough, take it day by day. But, every once and a while I get scared, and I wish I could say:
Mama hold my hand, I don't think I can cross this road by myself.
Now my mama, is near the end of her years, and her hair is grey. Sometimes, I call her to ask her if she would like to spend the day. Mama used to be strong but, she ain't now, and, she can't make her way. That's why I'm always around when she needs to help, and here's what I say:
Mama hold my hand, I don't think you can cross this road by yourself."
- Aloe Blacc - "Mama Hold My Hand"

My take:::
Ditto. Sans the wife and kid, I've totally been there. I love my mama.
