[Verse 1]
You were a name in a story
A question I carried for years
Now you're the face in my doorway
Smiling through all of my fears
We had a lifetime of distance
Bridged in a moment of truth
All of the pieces I’m missing
I found when I found you
[Chorus]
Mom
Thank you for giving me life
For every breath
Every chance
Every try
You opened your heart
And I opened my eyes
To this unbreakable bond
You and I
Mom
Thank you for choosing to stay
For calling me “son” at the end of the day
We’re building a love
No one can take away
This unbreakable bond
Always
[Verse 2]
We’re catching up over coffee
Laughing at things we don’t know
Looking at old faded pictures
Seeing the ways that I’ve grown
I hear my voice in your stories
I see my eyes in your own
Somehow a stranger
Somehow
The place I’ve always called home
[Chorus]
Mom
Thank you for giving me life
For every breath
Every chance
Every try
You opened your heart
And I opened my eyes
To this unbreakable bond
You and I
Mom
Thank you for choosing to stay
For calling me “son” at the end of the day
We’re building a love
No one can take away
This unbreakable bond
Always
[Bridge]
We can’t rewind
But we can hold on
To every new sunrise
Every late-night talk
If all that I get
Is the rest of your days
That’s more than enough
I’m forever amazed (oh)
[Chorus]
Mom
Thank you for giving me life
For every tear
Every laugh
Every try
You opened your heart
And I opened my eyes
To this unbreakable bond
You and I
Mom
Thank you for choosing my hand
For standing right here as I understand
I’m proud to be yours
I say it again and again
This unbreakable bond
My mom
My friend
