[Verse 1]
There were nights we had no light, just the hope inside your eyes
You held the world upon your back, never once asked why
You turned scraps into supper, and tears into grace
Even when the weight was heavy, you never lost your faith
[Pre-Chorus]
I watched you fight storms with a whisper and a flame
Teaching me that love ain’t easy, but you give it just the same
[Chorus]
Through it all, you stayed
When the sky fell down like rain
You were fire in the cold,
My shelter through the pain
I see your strength in me
Every scar, every memory
Mama, I’m who I am today
Because you stayed—through it all, you stayed
[Verse 2]
You stitched up the silence with lullabies and prayers
Made a home from broken pieces, with nothing but your care
There were days I saw you cry, but you’d still wipe my face
You taught me how to stand tall, and never walk in hate
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I carry your name like a banner in the wind
Every step I take, I’m walking where you’ve been
[Chorus]
Through it all, you stayed
When the sky fell down like rain
You were fire in the cold,
My shelter through the pain
I see your strength in me
Every scar, every memory
Mama, I’m who I am today
Because you stayed—through it all, you stayed
[Bridge]
If I could give the world to you, I’d lay it at your feet
But all I have is this song, and the love you gave to me
[Final Chorus]
Through it all, you stayed
When the world tried to take your flame
You lit the dark with your soul,
Never once turned away
I see your strength in me
In the mirror, so endlessly
Mama, I’m who I am today
Because you stayed—through it all, you stayed
