Rise From Indigo

Yeah… Mama, Papa…

I know you’re somewhere beyond the sky.

This one is for you.

I’m still here,

I’m still standing.

Mama, I still remember the love in your eyes,

Papa, I still hear your words when I’m facing hard times.

Life changed when you left,

and the silence felt loud,

But I carry your lessons,

so I’m making you proud.

Some days I miss you more than words can explain,

Sometimes I smile, but I’m hiding the pain.

But don’t worry about me,

I’m finding my way,

I just wish you could see how I’m doing today.

If the stars could carry my voice tonight,

I’d send you this message through the moonlight: “Mama,

Papa, please don’t worry about me,

Your love is still the strength that carries me.”

Mama, Papa, I’m doing okay,

I’m walking through life,

I’m finding my way.

Even though you’re gone,

your love never fades,

I carry you with me through all of my days.

Oh-oh,

I’m doing okay,

Oh-oh, I still hear what you say.

From the heavens above,

if you’re watching me,

Just know your child is becoming

who you wanted me to be.

I got dreams that I’m chasing,

got roads I must take,

And I know you’d be smiling at every step that I make.

I keep your memories close,

keep your names in my heart,

Even death couldn’t make all your love disappear from my path.

There are moments I wish I could call you again,

Tell you all about life,

tell you how it has been.

But I talk to you quietly whenever I pray,

And somehow your love helps me get through the day.

Mama, your love is my rhythm,

Papa, your strength is my song.

Though I can’t see you beside me,

I feel you when I’m moving on.

No tears tonight, just gratitude,

For every sacrifice and everything you taught me.

I may miss you forever,

But I’ll keep living with the love you gave me.

Mama, Papa, I’m doing okay,

I’m walking through life,

I’m finding my way.

Your memories shine like the morning sun,

Your story lives on through the things I’ve become.

Oh-oh,

I’m doing okay,

Oh-oh, I still hear what you say.

Rest peacefully, wherever you may be,

Your love will always be a part of me.

Yeah… Mama… Papa… I made it this far because you showed me

how.

I miss you. I love you.

And I’m doing okay.
