Mama, do you have a little time
To hear a melody about our lives?
There were years we didn’t get to share
Empty spaces, missing moments there
You didn’t see my tears as I grew
Or the battles I was fighting through
But somehow life brought us back around
And love is louder than the lost we found
Pre-Chorus
I carried questions in my heart
Wondering why we were apart
But healing came without a sound
The day you chose to stay around
Chorus
Mama, you’re here now, and that means everything
You’re making up for all the time in between
I forgive the past, I let the hurt go free
Because the love you give my children speaks to me
You’re showing up, you’re making it count somehow
Mama… you’re being my mother now
Verse 2
I watch you love the ones I love
Like a blessing sent from up above
The way you smile when they run near
Tells me all I need to hear
No perfect story, no perfect road
But we’re rebuilding what time once stole
And every memory we make today
Helps the old pain fade away
Pre-Chorus
We can’t rewrite the years gone by
But we can hold today so tight
And every hug, every laugh we share
Reminds me you are really there
Chorus
Mama, you’re here now, and that means everything
You’re making up for all the time in between
I forgive the past, I let the hurt go free
Because the love you give my children speaks to me
You’re showing up, you’re making it count somehow
Mama… you’re being my mother now
Bridge
No more looking back with tears
We found each other after years
And though the road was long somehow
I’m grateful for this love right now
Final Chorus
Mama, you’re here now, and that means everything
A second chance can heal the deepest things
I see your heart in every little thing you do
And through my kids, I see the best of you
You may have missed the girl I was somehow
But you’re here… and you’re my mama now.
