Mama

The doctors told you not to go full term

They said the risk was just too much to take

But you’ve always been hard-headed, standing firm

Stubborn for your unborn baby's sake

You put me first before I took a breath

A caring soul who wouldn't walk away

You gave me life and gave me everything

And that's the reason I am here today

Ma, you're the light to my darkness

The reason I keep pushing through

I could say you're the light at the end of the tunnel

But that wouldn't be enough for you

You're more than a spark when the shadows fall

You're the light to my world, you're my all in all

An amazing woman, through and through

Now my vision's fading, things are getting blurred

But you step right up to make me comfortable

You wrap me in your love without a word

Making sure my spirit stays so full

You help me fight the battles that I face

While you're dealing with your own pain on the side

You hold me steady in this changing space

With arms wide open and a heart so wide

But Mama, hear me, you are not alone

I'm right here with you, now and for all time

You carried me when I was just unknown

I'll hold your hand the way that you hold mine

Through every struggle, through whatever weather

We are gonna walk this road forever

'Cause Ma, you're the light to my darkness

The reason I keep pushing through

I could say you're the light at the end of the tunnel

But that wouldn't be enough for you

You're more than a spark when the shadows fall

You're the light to my world, you're my all in all

My amazing Mama, I love you
