Lyrics

Hook
Mama, you carried us when the road got rough
When the cupboard got thin, you still gave enough
Never let us see the weight upon your soul
You were holding broken pieces, making us feel whole
Mama, you carried us through the wind and rain
Turned your tears into strength, turned your hurt into faith
If I never say another word that's true
Mama, everything good in me started with you
Verse 1
I remember watching you count every dollar twice
Trying to stretch a little bit of hope into a better life
The lights stayed on because you sacrificed sleep
Working long hours while the whole house dreamed
You never wore a crown, but you deserved one
Never asked for applause for all the things you'd done
Just a woman with determination in her eyes
Teaching her children how to survive
You hid your worries behind a tired smile
Made hard times feel lighter for a little while
Now that I'm older, I finally understand
How much strength it took to be that woman
Hook
Mama, you carried us when the road got rough
When the cupboard got thin, you still gave enough
Never let us see the weight upon your soul
You were holding broken pieces, making us feel whole
Mama, you carried us through the wind and rain
Turned your tears into strength, turned your hurt into faith
If I never say another word that's true
Mama, everything good in me started with you
Verse 2
You taught me respect without raising your voice
Taught me every action comes attached to a choice
Showed me how to stand when life gets hard
And keep moving forward when the odds seem large
I know there were nights you cried after we slept
Battles you fought alone, promises you kept
Still every morning you got up again
Ready to face the world and somehow win
That's the kind of courage they don't put in books
The kind you only recognize when you take a closer look
A quiet hero wearing ordinary clothes
Giving everything she had to help her children grow
Bridge
Now whenever I stumble
I still hear your advice
Guiding me through darkness
Helping me find light
Your lessons live forever
Your love still leads the way
No matter how old I get
I'm your child to this day
Final Hook
Mama, you carried us when the road got rough
When the cupboard got thin, you still gave enough
Never let us see the weight upon your soul
You were holding broken pieces, making us feel whole
Mama, you carried us through the wind and rain
Turned your tears into strength, turned your hurt into faith
If I never say another word that's true
Mama, everything good in me started with you
Outro
To every mother fighting battles nobody sees...
To every mother choosing love over comfort...
To every mother who refused to give up...
We remember.
And Mama...
I remember you.
