Still Like August

You knew the sound of my tired footsteps Before I ever said

a word

Left the hallway light on for me When the whole world felt

disturbed

You kept your hands around the small things Packed my dreams beside

my shoes

Every time I lost my way

You gave me something true

Mom, you were the light in the window The quiet voice that

helped me breathe

When I couldn't see tomorrow

You still saw the best in me

And wherever life may take me

There's a place I'll always be

Mom, you are the heart I carry You made a home inside

of me

You turned ordinary Sundays

Into reasons to stay close

Made a little go a long way

Gave me more than you could show

Now I hear you in my laughter

See your courage in my hands

All the love you poured into me

Helps me learn to understand

Mom, you were the light in the window The quiet voice that

helped me breathe

When I couldn't see tomorrow You still saw the best in me

And wherever life may take me

There's a place I'll always be

Mom, you are the heart I carry You made a home inside

of me

I may not say it like I should

I may be miles away

But every step I take in life

Is shaped by what you gave

Mom, you are the light in the window The quiet voice that

helps me breathe

When the road gets dark around me Your love still finds me

easily

And wherever life may take me

There's a place I'll always be

Mom, you are the heart I carry You made a home inside

of me

You made a home inside of me

Mom, you made a home inside of me (mmm)
