[Verse 1] I see your faces in the morning light Cereal bowls, little socks too tight You laugh at cartoons, spill milk on the floor And I swear that’s what I’m fighting for Got this word written on my chart like a threat Doctors talking in a language I don’t get But when my hand shakes, you’re holding it steady You ask, “Mom, you okay?” I say, “Baby, I’m ready” Yeah, this body’s bruised from the tests and the scans But I still pack lunches with these trembling hands I’m scared some nights, I won’t pretend But every time I look at you, I stand again [Chorus] Momma gonna beat this, watch me rise Stronger than before, see it in my eyes You are the reason my heart don’t quit You are the fire that makes me grit Every breath I take, I take for you Every hard day, we’re pushing through You keep me alive, when I feel weak You’re the voice in my chest when I can’t speak Momma gonna beat this, that’s our song Hold my hand tight, we stay strong [Verse 2] I see future birthdays I’m planning in my mind Candles on cakes, all tangled in the blinds School plays, graduations, late-night talks Teaching you to drive, those nervous walks So I sit in this chair while the medicine drips But I’m thinking ’bout your first apartment, your first trips You draw me a hero with a cape in your art You don’t know you’re the armor wrapped around my heart Yeah, some days I’m tired, can’t get off the couch But you climb up close, put your head on my pouch You say, “Mom, you’re the bravest person I know” And suddenly I feel the fight reload [Chorus] Momma gonna beat this, watch me rise Stronger than before, see it in my eyes You are the reason my heart don’t quit You are the fire that makes me grit Every breath I take, I take for you Every hard day, we’re pushing through You keep me alive, when I feel weak You’re the voice in my chest when I can’t speak Momma gonna beat this, that’s our song Hold my hand tight, we stay strong [Bridge] If I cry, it’s ’cause I love you so much Not ’cause I’m done, I’m still tough If I shake, it’s just the storm in my veins But you’re the sunshine after the rain Remember this if you’re ever in doubt When it gets dark, that’s when stars come out You already gave me the strength that I need I’m gonna stand up, yeah, I’m gonna succeed (hey!) [Chorus] Momma gonna beat this, watch me rise Stronger than before, see it in my eyes You are the reason my heart don’t quit You are the fire that makes me grit Every breath I take, I take for you Every hard day, we’re pushing through You keep me alive, when I feel weak You’re the voice in my chest when I can’t speak Momma gonna beat this, that’s our song Hold my hand tight, we stay strong Momma gonna beat this, sing along You and me together, we stay strong
