Hold On, Mama

[Intro]
Yeah, this one’s for my mama, I gotta say
Thoughts I keep inside, I wanna change someday

[Verse 1]
You’re trying hard, I see the effort in your eyes
A little bit of sunshine in a world filled with lies
You been through struggles, still standing tall
But I’re cold, I’m distant, I’ve built up some walls

[Pre-Chorus]
Why I push away when I should hold on tight?
Gotta forgive the past, make peace tonight
You’re my mama, no matter what you’ve done
We can find the brighter days, over and beyond

[Chorus]
Can’t we turn the darkness into light?
Start to cherish every moment in our sight
Forget the past, let’s make a brand new start
Listen to your mama’s heart

[Verse 2]
Remember the nights you kept me safe and warm?
Now I treat you harsh, like it’s some kind of storm
You came from the south, living a hard life
Now you here, trying to learn to feel alive

[Pre-Chorus]
Why I push away when I should hold on tight?
Gotta forgive the past, make peace tonight
You’re my mama, no matter what you’ve done
We can find the brighter days, over and beyond

[Chorus]
Can’t we turn the darkness into light?
Start to cherish every moment in our sight
Forget the past, let’s make a brand new start
Listen to your mama’s heart

[Bridge]
All the anger, all the pain, let it fade away
Tomorrow’s a new day, let’s start today
Hold her close, hear her call, she’s trying her best
Love that woman, forget the rest

[Outro]
Yeah, this one’s for my mama, I love you so
Time to let go, let our love grow
