[Verse 1]
I see the weight you wear
Behind your careful smile
The rooms you hold together
One small breath at a time
When your hands shake at midnight
I still see your brave face
[Pre-Chorus]
You do not have to hide
The storm you carry in
I know the quiet war
You’ve been fighting within
[Chorus]
You are loved, you are held
You are loved, you are held (held)
You are strong in the dark
You are more than you feel
You are loved, you are held
My dear mother, be still
[Verse 2]
I know the years were heavy
I know they marked your skin
The tears you swallowed softly
The doors you kept us in
Yet you stood like the mountain
When the cold winds came through
[Pre-Chorus]
If your heart feels worn thin
Lean into my hand
You carried everyone
Now let me understand
[Chorus]
You are loved, you are held
You are loved, you are held (held)
You are strong in the dark
You are more than you feel
You are loved, you are held
My dear mother, be still
[Bridge]
Even in the breaking
You were never alone
Every scar is holy
Every mile a gold thread sewn
Let the night unclench you
Let the hurting fade
[Final Chorus]
You are loved, you are held
You are loved, you are held (held)
You are strong in the dark
You are more than you feel
You are loved, you are held
My dear mother, be still
You are loved, you are held (held)
You are amazing to me
