Title: Momma, Please Don’t Shed Your Tears
Intro (instrumental)
Soft keys breathe in
Strings barely touching the air
Verse 1
Momma, please don’t shed your tears
I know the nights have been heavy this year
I learned strength watching you stand still
Even when the world asked more than it should
You held hope like it was fragile glass
Smiled so we wouldn’t feel the cracks
If love could speak, it’d sound like you
Quiet, steady, always true
Pre-Chorus
I carry your prayers in my chest
Every “be careful,” every breath
I didn’t fall — I learned to bend
Because of you, I rise again
Chorus
Momma, please don’t shed your tears
I’m still here
I’m still here
All the worry you whispered at night
Turned into my fight, turned into my light
Momma, please don’t shed your tears
I’m still here
Standing clear
Every seed you planted then
Is growing now — just look at me
Verse 2
I know you hid the fear away
So I could dream without delay
If love was work, you worked overtime
Never asked for praise, never crossed the line
Your hands taught me how to pray
Not with words — but with the way
You kept going when it hurt
That’s the lesson I carry first
Pre-Chorus
I hear your voice when doubt appears
Telling me I belong right here
Every tear you tried to hide
Turned into my backbone inside
Chorus
Momma, please don’t shed your tears
I’m still here
I’m still here
Every long road, every test
Built the courage in my chest
Momma, please don’t shed your tears
I’m still here
Standing clear
I am everything you hoped
And more than what you feared
Bridge (drop everything but keys + strings)
If you ever wonder if you did enough
If the nights were worth the love
Look at me — breathing, whole
That’s your answer, that’s your soul
Final Chorus (soft, resolved)
Momma, please don’t shed your tears
I’m still here
At peace, sincere
All your love didn’t disappear
It became my future — right here
Outro
Keys fade
Strings hold
Silence stays warm
