[Verse 1]
Mama, look at you now
one hundred candles bright
Hands that built our whole world
still holding us tight
You prayed before the sun up
then gave your love away
Nine grown kids around you
still learning from your way
[Pre-Chorus]
You kept the faith so steady
through the storms and rain
You made a home from hard work
and you wore the strain
Your name stays on our table
in every plate and chair
Mama, we all are living
from the love you shared
[Chorus]
One hundred years, mama
one hundred years
Still the heart of this family
still wiping our tears
One hundred years, mama
we sing your name
Faith in your hands
and love in your frame
[Verse 2]
You were always there first
with a blanket and a meal
If one of us was hurting
you made the wound heal
You taught us how to pray
and how to stand up tall
How to love one another
and not let the house fall
[Pre-Chorus]
You kept the faith so steady
through the storms and rain
You made a home from hard work
and you wore the strain
Your name stays on our table
in every plate and chair
Mama, we all are living
from the love you shared
[Chorus]
One hundred years, mama
one hundred years
Still the heart of this family
still wiping our tears
One hundred years, mama
we sing your name
Faith in your hands
and love in your frame
[Bridge]
Now the children bring the flowers
and the laughter fills the room
We count your years like blessings
in the morning light of June
If I get half your strength
I will call myself blessed
You taught us how to carry
what this life puts to the test
[Final Chorus]
One hundred years, mama
one hundred years
Still the heart of this family
still wiping our tears
One hundred years, mama
we sing your name
Faith in your hands
and love in your frame
One hundred years, mama
our hero, our grace
Nine proud kids around you
smiling in your face
One hundred years, mama
forever you remain
The sweetest kind of blessing
living in our veins
