It’s Mothers Day

Mya’s up before the coffee’s even hot

Baby Bear cryin’, she gives it all she’s got

Hair tied back, yeah she’s runnin’ on fumes

But she’d burn the whole world down just to give that kid room

I been lost, I been low, I been hard to hold

Mya never once let me go cold

Yeah she found me broke down, somewhere in between

And built a life outta nothin’ but a worn-out dream

⸻

Mya, you’re stronger than you’ll ever say

Baby Bear’s got your heart in every single way

And I see it in the little things you do

How you give your whole damn soul like it’s nothin’ new

With another on the way and the weight on your back

Mya, you don’t bend, you don’t crack

⸻

Baby Bear’s gonna grow and learn your name

Like it means “safe” and “home” and “won’t feel pain”

Every late night, every tear you hide

Every piece of you you set aside

And I know I ain’t been easy on your heart

God knows I’ve played my reckless part

But you stayed when leavin’ made more sense

Yeah Mya, you’re my evidence

⸻

Mya, you’re stronger than you’ll ever say

Baby Bear’s got your heart in every single way

And I see it in the way you stand

Holdin’ all of us together with a steady hand

With another on the way and the world comin’ fast

Mya, you’re the reason we last

⸻

There ain’t no song that could pay you back

For every mile you carried us on your back

But I’ll spend my life tryin’ anyway

Tellin’ you I love you more than words can say

⸻

So on this Mother’s Day, I’ll keep it true

Mya, there ain’t a damn thing I’d choose over you

Baby Bear’s lucky, and so am I

Got an angel livin’ in real life
