"Through My Eyes (Mama's Song)"
(Lyrics by Gerald Logan)
(Verse 1)
If you could see my mom through my eyes
Only then would you realize
Why I love her more than anything in this world
She's not just the woman who raised me right
She's the reason I sleep in peace at night
An angel in flesh, my first and forever girl
(Verse 2)
She held my hand through every storm
Gave me shelter, kept me warm
Worked her fingers to the bone without complaint
She wiped my tears when I was down
Lifted me up, turned it around
And prayed for me when no one else even cared
( Verse 3)
She opened the Bible, showed me the way
Taught me to kneel, and how to pray
With every story, planted seeds of light
She said, “Love the Lord with all your soul
He’ll heal your wounds and make you whole”
Because of her, I walk in truth and fight the good fight
(Chorus)
If you could see her the way I do
You’d feel the love that carries me through
You’d see the fire in her gentle soul
The kind of love that makes you whole
She’s the reason I stand, the reason I rise
If you could see my mom through my eyes
(Verse 4)
She taught me faith and how to fight
How to chase the truth and choose what's right
With nothing but her heart, she built my world
She wore her pain behind a smile
Walked every mile, went every mile
And never let go, no matter how hard it got
(Bridge)
She’s the prayer I whisper late at night
The voice of wisdom in the quiet light
No diamond shines the way she shines
If only you could see her through my eyes
(Final Chorus)
If you could see her the way I do
You’d know her love is tried and true
You’d feel the grace in every word
The softest strength you’ve ever heard
She’s my hero, my heart, my sweetest prize
If you could see my mom… through my eyes
