Mamas Song

This song is for all the mothers out there.

She wakes up daily, always getting ready 
She’s always working, never has time for anything 
She stays awake late at night, holding on to her pillow tight
The kids have school, the house is a mess
Dishes need done, baby needs a bath 
Her hairs a mess, makeup smeared 
She’s always saying “maybe I have to make time” 
Her husbands always gone, working a blue collar job

She wishes she could run away 
Start a new life at bay 
She’s always thinking she isn’t doing enough 
She’s always saying “why is shit so rough” 
What she doesn’t know is she’s doing an amazing job
Her children always whisper quietly “thank you, mom” 

She makes the coffee, running late 
For her 9-5 job making breakfast plates
She thanks the babysitter and she goes
She slips on the way
The rain is making it harder for her to stay awake 
She cries on the side of the road, until a passerby stops and sees her 
She says “baby it’s gonna be alright” 

She wishes she could run away
Start a new life at bay 
Shes always thinking she isn’t doing enough 
She’s always saying “why is this shit so rough” 
What she doesn’t know is she’s doing an amazing job
Her children always whisper quietly “thank you mom” 

She cries herself to sleep that very night, just needing a break from life 
Next morning she awakes
Her children and husband stand by her with a flower bouquet 
Little Anna-Lynn gives her a hug and says “mom I love you a lot” 

*talking in normal tone* 
Things do get better, mama. Hold your head up high 

New country, old country, female
