Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You worked two jobs and still read bedtime stories
Coffee gone cold on the counter again
Laughed through the late fees and the shut-off warnings
Tucked every worry under my bed
[Chorus]
You held up the sky when the ground gave way
Turned broken glass into better days
Every crack in your heart
You covered with light
You carried the weight so I could learn to fly
When the whole world shook and I heard it fall
You stood there steady
You took it all
You held up the sky
You held up the sky for us
[Verse 2]
Bills on the table like a paper mountain
You joked you’d climb it in your old blue jeans
Hands always shaking but you kept on counting
Saving your dreams so I could chase my dreams
[Chorus]
You held up the sky when the ground gave way
Turned broken glass into better days
Every crack in your heart
You covered with light
You carried the weight so I could learn to fly
When the whole world shook and I heard it fall
You stood there steady
You took it all
You held up the sky
You held up the sky for us
[Bridge]
I see the woman behind the wonder now (oh mama)
All of the ache you hid behind your smile
If I can be half of what you are somehow
I’ll be your mirror for a little while
[Chorus]
You held up the sky when the ground gave way
Turned broken glass into better days
Every crack in your heart
You covered with light
You carried the weight so I could learn to fly
When my world cracks
I know what to do
I lift my chin up and I think of you
You held up the sky
You’re more than my mother
You’re my idol too
