about

This is one of our favorites from the Spring Awakening musical, originally sung by Lea Michele. Here we decided to combine "Mama Who Bore Me" with the "Mama Who Bore Me (Reprise)" off of the original Broadway soundtrack.

For those of you who are fans of the new show, RISE, on NBC, you will have heard Moana's Auli'i Cravalho sing this last week on Episode 6! If you don't know, RISE is a music-infused drama from Friday Night Lights showrunner Jason Katims and Hamilton producer Jeffrey Seller. The RISE Cast has been weaving in popular songs with numbers from the Spring Awakening in a really cool, fresh way.

A big shoutout to our good friend, Alexander Tseitlin, who laid down the strings for us in this cover and is featured with us here playing viola! You might have also heard Alex on our Christmas song, "Heaven On Earth", that we released last year - he is absolutely amazing! What he brings is magical and we are so very grateful whenever he's able to join us on our projects!

lyrics

"Mama Who Bore Me" lyrics:

Mama who bore me
Mama who gave me
No way to handle things
Who made me so sad
Mama, the weeping
Mama, the angels
No sleep in heaven or Bethlehem

Some pray that one day Christ will come a-callin'
They light a candle and hope that it glows
And some just lie there crying for him to come and find them
But when he comes they don't know how to go

Mama who bore me
Mama who gave me
No way to handle things
Who made me so bad
Mama, the weeping
Mama, the angels
No sleep in heaven or Bethlehem

"Mama Who Bore Me (Reprise)" lyrics:

Mama who bore me
Mama who gave me
Mama, the Angels
Who made me so sad

Mama who bore me
Mama who gave me
No way to handle things
Who made me so sad

Mama, the weeping
Mama, the angels
No sleep in heaven
Or Bethlehem

Some pray that one day, Christ will come a-callin'
They light a candle and hope that it glows
Some just lie there crying for Him to come and find them
But when He comes they don't know how to go

Mama who bore me
Mama who gave me
Mama, the angels
Who made me so bad

Mama, the weeping
Mama, the angels
No sleep in heaven
Or Bethlehem
