Love you, Momma

Love You, Momma”

(A heartfelt country/acoustic ballad)

Verse 1

You were young and carrying me

With four little lives and shattered dreams

Left Iowa with suitcases packed

No looking back, just faith for that

Back to California skies

To Grandma and Grandpa Corbin’s light

You carried pain nobody saw

But somehow you still carried us all

Pre-Chorus

And I see it now

Everything you gave

Every sleepless night

Every sacrifice you made

Chorus

Oh Momma, you were stronger than the storms

Held this family together when the whole world fell apart

Through heartbreak, loss, and every tear you cried alone

You became the rock that carried us back home

And if I’m half the woman you’ve always been to me

With a heart that big and love that deep

Then I know I’m doing something right

Love you, Momma… with all my life

Verse 2

The desert sun and San Diego rain

Three wild boys and me raised the same

The youngest daughter watching you fight

Trying your best through every night

Lord knows they put you through some hell

But you never quit, you never fell

Even when Christmas stole your son

And James was gone before the morning sun

Pre-Chorus

Still you found strength

When no strength was there

Held us through the grief

While carrying your own despair

Chorus

Oh Momma, you were stronger than the storms

Held this family together when the whole world fell apart

Through heartbreak, loss, and every tear you cried alone

You became the rock that carried us back home

And if I’m half the woman you’ve always been to me

With a heart that big and love that deep

Then I know I’m doing something right

Love you, Momma… with all my life

Bridge

Two more times you gave your heart away

Two more times death took love away

But somehow you still stand tall

Still the one we always call

Then cancer came and tried to steal

The strongest soul I’ve ever seen

But you faced it with your head held high

And showed us all how to survive

Now you’re a grandmother

A great-grandmother too

Still giving love to everyone

The way only you can do

And when addiction had me lost

You gave me tough love through it all

Not to hurt me — but save me

And you never let me fall

Final Chorus

Oh Momma, you were stronger than the storms

Held this family together when the whole world fell apart

You’ve been my best friend, my safe place, my truth

The woman I still run to

And if one day my children say of me

“She loved us strong and endlessly”

Then every lesson came from you

Love you, Momma…

I always will

I always do

Outro

You carried us all

And somehow still carry me too

Love you, Momma.
