MAMA'S RECIPE (music & words: Gary Erwin, copyright 2005, published by Blue Chasqui Music (BMI).
CHORUS: Take a pinch of "I love you" / And a lot of "Here I am" / Equal parts of you and me / Season well and blend / A taste so sweet / It's mama's recipe
Love is like wilderness they say / No map or compass there to find the way / Stars might guide if you clearly see / But I rely on mama's recipe
Real love makes the world go 'round / It'll clear your head, put your feet back on the ground / Take away your fear and bring you peace / You'll find the key in mama's recipe
CHORUS
O, this hungry heart is satisfied / And the roaring wind inside of me has died / This captive soul has finally been freed / Since you gave me mama's recipe
CHORUS
