Song For Mama

I found your name

in the quiet of the morning

Like sunlight on the kitchen floor

You held my world

with your two hands

When mine were way too small

You made a home

out of hard days

And still you gave me

all

So if my voice shakes when I say it

Know it’s honest, every part

I’m trying to thank you in a song

For what you wrote in my heart

Mama, this is for

the nights you stayed up late

For the prayers you never made me earn

If I get lost,

I hear you call my name

And I come back,

I always return (ohhhh)

You taught me how

to face the weather

With my chin up,

feet on ground

And when I thought

I wasn’t worth much

You were the voice that drowned that out

I’m not a kid now,

but I still need you When the world gets loud and mean

So take this promise,

I will carry All the love you gave to me (ahhhh)

Mama, this is for

the nights you stayed up late

For the prayers you never made me earn

If I get lost,

I hear you call my name

And I come back,

I always return

Mama, I hope you feel it when I sing Every thank you

that I never learned (ohhhh)

Mama, I love you (ohhhh)
