She woke me up with morning prayers,
Soft hands fixing my messy hair
Even when the world felt cold
She made our little home feel gold
Pre-Chorus
I didn’t see it back then
All the love she gave again and again
Chorus
Oh mama, you’re my light in the dark
You’re the fire that lives in my heart
Every sacrifice, every tear you hide
I see your love in my life
Oh mama, you’re my everything
My strength, my reason, my beginning
If I ever make it through this life
It’s because of your sacrifice
Verse 2
Late nights when I couldn’t sleep
She was praying quietly for me
No gold, no crown, no fame or fame
But she gave me her last name
Pre-Chorus
Now I finally understand
All the pain she held in her hands
Chorus
Oh mama, you’re my light in the dark
You’re the fire that lives in my heart
Every sacrifice, every tear you hide
I see your love in my life
Oh mama, you’re my everything
My strength, my reason, my beginning
If I ever make it through this life
It’s because of your sacrifice
Bridge
And if I ever lose my way
I hear your voice, I hear you say
“Keep going, child, don’t you break”
I’m with you every step you take
Outro
Oh mama… I hope you know
I’ll love you more than words can show
