Ma

You'd hang the paper lanterns for a party

Setting up the porch to welcome friends

Pouring all your energy to bless us

With a giving heart that never ends

Always putting everyone before you

Taking time to see that we were fine

With a gentle patience in your spirit

That would steady any troubled mind

Oh Ma, I love you for always

For every single thing you do for me

Your caring heart is steady as a mountain

Your kindness stretches far as I can see

From every weekend trip to back-road ramble

You fill the days with laughter and with fun

Yeah Ma, I love you for always

The brightest light beneath the morning sun

We’d set up camp beneath the starry shadows

Then point the wheels and take off toward the south

Down to Gatorland to watch the swamp show

Grinning with an ice cream in your mouth

Strolling by the pavilions in Epcot

Walt Disney World with fireworks overhead

You turned every journey into wonder

By the joyful, caring life you led

Oh Ma, I love you for always

For every single thing you do for me

Your caring heart is steady as a mountain

Your kindness stretches far as I can see

From every weekend trip to back-road ramble

You fill the days with laughter and with fun

Yeah Ma, I love you for always

The brightest light beneath the morning sun

You never stopped to ask for any credit

You just showed up to lend a helping hand

Loving every person that you crossed with

Giving everything a momma can

Looking back on all those sweet adventures

And every happy crowd you brought together

The secret wasn't just the destination

It was having you right there through every weather

And I thank you for the way you lift me up

With a goodness that is pure and true

Oh Ma, I love you for always

For every single thing you do for me

Your caring heart is steady as a mountain

Your kindness stretches far as I can see

From every weekend trip to back-road ramble

You fill the days with laughter and with fun

Yeah Ma, I love you for always

My favorite part of everywhere we run

Yeah Ma, I love you for always

For everything you've ever done
