Two Little Reasons

[Verse 1]
She was running on empty
Whole world talking, she stayed quiet
Clock on the wall kept ticking
Heart in her chest stayed silent
Fighting her reflection in the bathroom light
Wondering if the struggle ever turns out right
Same four walls, same old ceiling
Numb in her soul, no real feeling
[Chorus]
Then came two little reasons
Turned her winters into seasons
Now her whole world fits in her arms (yeah, yeah)
Two little reasons to be breathing
Every scar found secret meaning
Mama’s heart wrapped up in their charms (oh-oh)
Two little reasons
[Verse 2]
First one crying in a hospital room
Red hair blazing like it swallowed the moon
Blue eyes staring through the doubt in her mind
Like, “Mama, you’re here, and we’re gonna be fine”
Second came laughing, sunshine grin
Blond hair glowing, brown eyes locked in
Ten and nine now, sneakers by the door
Breakfast jokes, cereal on the floor
[Chorus]
They her two little reasons
Turned her winters into seasons
Now her whole world fits in her arms (yeah)
Two little reasons to be breathing
Every scar found secret meaning
Mama’s heart wrapped up in their charms (so strong)
Two little reasons
[Bridge]
Homework on the table, cartoons low
She packing lunches, watching them grow
Thought she was nothing, now she can see
Every beat of her heart spells “M-O-M”
When they say, “Mama, watch,” and jump so high
She remembers when she prayed just to feel alive
Now every late night ride, every “I’m proud of you, boys”
Is proof that her pain turned into their joys (yeah)
[Chorus]
They her two little reasons
Turned her winters into seasons
Now her whole world fits in her arms (in her arms)
Two little reasons to be breathing
Every scar found secret meaning
Mama’s life shining through their hearts
Two little reasons
