[Verse 1] She wakes before the sun Water tin on her head Botswana dust on her feet Still she makes the bread Zimbabwe in her steps Mozambique in her song Congo in her backbone She has carried on [Pre-Chorus] When the road gets rough She don't fold, she grows Hands full of the day Heart strong as the stone [Chorus] Mamas of the map Hold it all together Mamas of the map Storm and sunny weather Mamas of the map Hear the whole world clap Mamas of the map Mamas of the map [Verse 2] Kenya in the market Sharp eyes, quick smile Sudan in the laughter She can go the mile Baby on her hip Dreams inside her cloth She can build a home From the very crossroad [Pre-Chorus] When the night comes down She lights the fire high Names the ones she loves And teaches them to rise [Chorus] Mamas of the map Hold it all together Mamas of the map Storm and sunny weather Mamas of the map Hear the whole world clap Mamas of the map Mamas of the map [Bridge] From the river to the hill From the sand to the shore She is not surviving She is so much more Call her by her name Let the children sing Every step she took Made the whole land sing [Final Chorus] Mamas of the map Hold it all together Mamas of the map Storm and sunny weather Mamas of the map Hear the whole world clap Mamas of the map Mamas of the map
