[Verse 1]
Ummi, my mother
You held it down
Strong in your silence
Still stood your ground
You gave me wisdom
In simple ways
Turned little lessons
Into my days
[Pre-Chorus]
When I felt small
You made me seen
When I was breaking
You stayed the beam
You taught me how
To carry pain
And keep my heart
From losing name
[Chorus]
Ummi, I love you
Ummi, I see you
Ummi, I need you
Right by my side
Loved and unbeaten
Safe in your teaching
Ummi, my mother
My sweetest guide
(Ummi) (my mother)
(Ummi) (my guide)
[Verse 2]
You showed me patience
When I was wild
Held every worry
Like your own child
You made a home
Out of your care
Even my heavy
Found lighter air
[Pre-Chorus]
When the road bent
You showed me grace
When I got lost
You made my place
You taught me life
With open hands
Soft but unshaken
You understand
[Chorus]
Ummi, I love you
Ummi, I see you
Ummi, I need you
Right by my side
Loved and unbeaten
Safe in your teaching
Ummi, my mother
My sweetest guide
(Ummi) (my mother)
(Ummi) (my guide)
[Bridge]
If I could give back
What you gave me
I’d pour the whole sky
Into your sea
Your strength stays with me
Your name stays near
Every good thing
Grew from here
[Final Chorus]
Ummi, I love you
Ummi, I see you
Ummi, I need you
Right by my side
Loved and unbeaten
Safe in your teaching
Ummi, my mother
My sweetest guide
Ummi, I love you
Ummi, I see you
Ummi, I need you
Right by my side
(Ummi) (my mother)
(Ummi) (my guide)
