You say I push too hard I don’t know when to quit
Chasing down the dreams that won’t let me sit
But mom this fire—well it came from you
Every callus on my hand
Every line in the dirt I stand
It’s what I learned from you Mom
That grit that fight that staying strong
Through storms and sunshine
Your the compass I carry inside
You always put family first
Held us together when times were the worst
Shielded the weak gave love its due
Made me strong just like you
All the stubborn all the strong
The late nights working since dawn
Every step I take it’s true
They’re all things I learned from you
You woke up early worked till late
Hands in the dirt food on the plate
You never stopped no time to rest
With every breath you gave your best
You stood like a mountain unshaken tall
I watched you as you carried it all
Even when the nights were long and wide
So if I’m stubborn if I don’t give in
It’s just what I learned from you again and again
Your voice was calm in the hardest fight
You stayed the course through the darkest night
Taught me to stand when the winds would howl
With quiet strength you showed me how
I see you in the mirror every line every trace
Your grit your grace written all on my face
You held the weight of the sky in your hands
Built a life from dust and shifting sands
Never let the world steal your spark
Even when it felt so cold and dark
Your laugh could fill a quiet room
A wildflower fighting through the gloom
You were strong you had no fear
Faced the storms wiped every tear
Put others first that's what you do
And when we fight it's 'cause I'm just like you mom
The way you held on when the world let go
How you lit the dark when the shadows would grow
Your hands built a life your heart built a home
Now I hear your words in my own voice
Each step I take it feels like your choice
The seeds you planted they’ve taken root
I’m walking the path you always walked
You said I don’t laugh enough I hold back tears
I keep my guard up bury my fears
But I saw you stand through storms and rain
Teaching me to love through the pain
Your apron strings your quiet might
Lit the fire that burns so bright
So if I’m stubborn if I don’t give in
It’s just what I learned from you again and again
I've got a soft heart it bends but won't break
I give 'til I'm empty no more I can take
Stubborn as the red clay under my feet
I don’t back down I don't retreat
I learned it all from you Mom
How to stand tall when the road feels long
Every fight every tear every late-night prayer
You taught me strength wrapped in tender care
I hope you see I hope you know
Everything I am I learned from you
I don’t take no for an answer
Every dream I chase I chase to the end
The fire in my soul the grit in my hands
Comes from a woman who always understands
Every step I take it’s true
They’re all things I learned from you
You were strong you had no fear
Faced the storms wiped every tear
Put others first that's what you do
And when we fight it's 'cause I'm just like you
Mom
I'm just like you
