[Verse 1]
You held me up when I was tiny
Stayed awake through every fear
You patched my jeans
You packed my lunches
You wiped my tears
You kept me here
[Pre-Chorus]
Now you’re tired in the kitchen light
Saying you’re too worn down
But I see gold in every line
Mama
Let me help you now
[Chorus]
Mama
I love you and I’m here for you
When nobody
Nobody else comes through
Always and forever
I’ll be right beside you
I’ll give you my wings when you’re falling down
Mama
Pick up your crown
Pick up your crown (oh)
You’re a queen and I’m so proud
[Verse 2]
You gave your dreams to pay the rent
You bit your tongue and took the blame
You laughed it off
But I was watching
I memorized your hidden pain
[Pre-Chorus]
So when the world feels heavy now
And you can’t stand your ground
Lean on me
I’ll lift you up
Mama
Let me help you now
[Chorus]
Mama
I love you and I’m here for you
When nobody
Nobody else comes through
Always and forever
I’ll be right beside you
I’ll give you my wings when you’re falling down
Mama
Pick up your crown
Pick up your crown (yeah)
You’re a queen and I’m so proud
[Bridge]
Every scar you carry
Is a story I defend
You were my first shelter
Let me be yours in the end
If your hands start shaking
I’ll hold them
I’ll stay
You walked me this far
Let me walk you the rest of the way
[Chorus]
Mama
I love you and I’m here for you
When nobody
Nobody else comes through
Always and forever
I’ll be right beside you
I’ll give you my wings when you’re falling down
Mama
Pick up your crown
Pick up your crown (oh)
Always and forever
I’ve got you now
