Mama Don’t Give Up

Yeah… yeah…

Enestina…

My Mama, my love…

I don't know what changed in your heart,

But I know what you mean to mine.

If loving you was a mistake,

Mama, I would make that mistake again.

You said my level is higher than yours,

Now you're closing our love's open doors.

But tell me, baby,

what does level mean,

When you're the woman inside of my dreams?

I never loved you for what you own,

I loved your heart,

not your money or home.

I never needed you to be like me,

I only wanted you beside me.

Mama, remember the plans we made,

All of the promises,

the love we gave.

Now I'm alone with these words unsaid,

And a thousand memories inside my head.

Mama, don't give up on us,

Don't let your fears destroy our trust.

I don't need your riches,

I don't need your fame,

Enestina, I still love you just the same.

Mama, you're enough for me,

Can't you see what you mean to me?

If the world says we're not meant to be,

I'd still choose you,

if you would choose me.

I'm far away, but my heart is near,

I wish I could hold you and wipe your tears.

You see the difference,

I see our love,

I see a blessing I'm thankful for.

I never promised a perfect life,

But I wanted you to be my wife.

To grow together, to learn,

to rise, To build our future beneath God's skies.

But if your heart has already decided,

I'll respect your choice,

though I'm broken inside it.

I won't force love,

I won't make you stay,

I'll still wish you happiness every day.

Mama…

listen to me.

I never thought I was better than you.

I never wanted you to compete with me.

I wanted us to walk together,

To celebrate each other's victories,

And to help each other

through the difficult days.

I chose you because of who you are,

Not because of where you stand in life.

If you still have love for me,

Let's talk

before we let everything go.

But if this is truly your decision,

I will respect it.

Mama, don't give up on us,

Don't let your fears destroy our trust.

I don't need your riches,

I don't need your fame,

Enestina, I still love you just the same.

(yeah, I love you)

Mama, you will always have a place,

Inside my heart no one else can replace.

Whether you stay or you walk away,

I'll be grateful I loved you anyway.

Enestina…

my Mama…

I left home chasing a dream,

But you became part of the dream I wanted.

I can't promise you that life will be easy,

But I wanted

to face it with you.

If you stay, I'll cherish you.

If you leave, I'll respect you.

But before you go,

please remember this… I never saw you as below me.

I only saw you

as the woman I wanted beside me.

I love you, Mama.

Always with love…

Your boy.
