Prompt / Lyrics
[Opening] For my mom... [Verse 1] We used to speak through silence, walking on eggshells Hearts behind fences, living in parallel Too many words left hanging in the air Too many moments we just weren’t there [Verse 2] But I finally broke and let the pain pour down Told you ‘bout Vanessa, and how I nearly drowned Told you ‘bout Darla, the light I never got to hold How the grief left me shattered and cold [Chorus] And you didn’t run, you didn’t turn away You held the storm I’d carried every day No, you didn’t need to feel it just to understand You just listened with a mother’s hand And that was the start of the healing I craved That was the moment I finally felt safe [Verse 3] The tears hit the table like quiet little drums You said you’d been there too, and that made me come undone We didn’t fix it all, but we found solid ground In the middle of the wreckage, something whole was found [Verse 4 – Longest Verse] Now we ride together, windows down, singing old songs Laughin’ in diners where the coffee’s never strong It’s not perfect, but it’s real—every moment we spend Feels like I found my mom, and not just a friend We let go of the years that tried to split us in two Built something better, something honest and true And every time you smile now, I feel your love shine A bond we rebuilt, one memory at a time I look back and thank the road for leading me here To a place where your voice is the one I hold dear I can’t speak from the top of the mountain just yet— But I’m finally feelin’ like we’re not done just yet [Bridge] It took broken years and wounded nights To learn that healing ain’t in winning fights It’s in the reach, the quiet try The arms that wait when you finally cry [Outro – Whispered Prayer] Thank You, Lord, for the strength to forgive For the time we lost, and the time we still get to live For the arms that now hold what once pulled away And the words we can say that we couldn’t yesterday If there’s grace in the silence, I’ve heard it at last In the love of my mother, the pain’s in the past So I’ll carry this peace through each step I take Thank You for giving me back what I prayed You’d remake I love you, Mom.
