Left home young with stars in my eyes
[Oh, yeah, yeah]
Chasing dreams under borrowed skies
[Oh, I was searching]
But even then, I felt her near
In every heartbeat, every fear
[Mom, you’re always here]
She smiled like she knew I had to go
[Oh, she knew]
But her eyes said, “you’ll always be my own”
[You’re mine, always mine]
She’s the sun behind my cloudy days
[Yeah, yeah, yeah]
The reason I still feel safe
Even far, I feel her grace
Like a hug I can’t replace
[Oh, I can’t replace]
She gave me more than she ever had
[More than she ever had]
Held me close when things got bad
And no matter how far I stray
[She’s the love I can’t replace]
She sends her love in little ways
[Oh, little ways]
Voice notes, hearts, and holiday praise
[She’s my heart]
Says I’ll always be her baby girl
No matter how I move through the world
[You’re my baby girl]
She smiled like she knew I had to go
[She always knew]
But her eyes said, “you’ll always be my own”
[You’ll always be my own]
She’s the sun behind my cloudy days
[Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah]
The reason I still feel safe
Even far, I feel her grace
Like a hug I can’t replace
[She’s the love I can’t replace]
She gave me more than she ever had
[More than she ever had]
Held me close when things got bad
And no matter how far I stray
[She’s the love I can’t replace]
I’m who I am ‘cause she believed
[She believed in me]
In all the parts I couldn’t see
[Oh, oh]
She’s the soft in all my strong
She’s the reason I belong
[Mom, you’re where I belong]
She’s the warmth in my coldest pain
[Oh, yeah, yeah]
The lullaby inside my brain
[Mom, you’re always in my heart]
She’s the calm that calls my name
[Calls my name, calls my name]
When life gets loud or feels insane
[She’s the love I can’t replace]
She gave me love that won’t run dry
[Mom, you gave me everything]
She’s the reason I still try
And no matter how far I stray—
[She’s the love I can’t replace]
[Oh, oh]
