Mama you were always the one

My sunrise my moon my steady sun

When the world was a storm you held my hand

The anchor the shelter the promised land

Oh mama you were always the one

My best friend my protector my guide

You showed me love you led me to Jesus

I wouldn’t trade you for any other mother

Your hands were strong they built our home

Your words like rivers carving stone

Now I’m here in the shadow of time

Trying to hold you while the clock unwinds

I’m scared I’m aching I’m holding on

To every word every whisper every song

Oh mama you were always the one

My best friend my protector my guide

You showed me love you led me to Jesus

I wouldn’t trade you for any other mother

I’m lost I’m stranded in this bluesy haze

Counting the sunsets counting the days

Your laughter echoes your wisdom stays

But I’m drowning mama in these delta waves
