A Mother’s Love

Verse 1
I loved you before I saw your face,
Before your first cry, before your name.
Felt my heart split the moment you breathed,
Didn’t lose myself—I grew in ways I couldn’t see.
Every scraped knee, every late-night tear,
Mama was right there, yeah I was right here.

Pre-Chorus
I carried your pain when you couldn’t speak,
Fought your battles while you slept in peace.
Even when I didn’t have the strength,
My love showed up anyway.

Chorus
I love you when you’re strong,
I love you when you break.
I love you when you’re right,
And when you make mistakes.
You don’t ever have to earn it,
You don’t have to pretend.
I’m your shelter, I’m your forever,
I’m your mother till the end.

Verse 2
I watched you grow into your own mind,
Saw the world get heavy on your spine.
When your anger filled the room with fire,
I stayed calm, yeah I stayed beside you.
If you ever doubt who’s in your corner,
Read my love like a sacred order.

Pre-Chorus
Even when you walk a road I wouldn’t choose,
My prayers still run ahead of you.
If the world ever lets you down,
You know where love is found.

Chorus
I love you when you’re strong,
I love you when you break.
I love you when you’re right,
And when you make mistakes.
You don’t ever have to earn it,
You don’t have to pretend.
I’m your shelter, I’m your forever,
I’m your mother till the end.

Bridge (emotional build)
If you lose your way, lose your faith,
Lose your grip on better days—
Come back home, no questions asked,
My arms are built to last.
I see the boys inside the men you’ll be,
And I love you through every version of you I see.

Breakdown (soft)
You don’t scare me when you fall…
You scare me when you think you’re alone.

Final Chorus
I love you past your doubts,
Past your fears, past your scars.
No matter how near or far you are.
If the whole world walks away,
I’ll still be standing where I’ve always been.
I’m your shelter, I’m your forever,
I’m your mother till the end.
