[Verse 1]
Happy Mother’s Day, baby
to the woman who holds it down
You keep the whole thing moving
when the whole house spins around
We can be a lot sometimes
stressful, loud, and a little too much
Still you stay solid, steady
with that calm and that touch
You made a king out my son
taught him how to stand up right
How to speak with respect
how to fight for the light
I see your hands in his habits
your heart in the way that he grows
And every room that you built
still teaches him what love knows
[Pre-Chorus]
So we just had to say it
clear and true today
You make hard days softer
you take the weight away
[Chorus]
Keeps it running
keeps it running
you keep it running, love
Keeps it running
keeps it running
we’re thanking God above
(beautiful woman)
(the whole thing running)
[Verse 2]
I know we get on your nerves
I know we test your patience
Still you show up with grace
never short on your patience
Dinner on the table
and a plan for the next day too
You make a home out of chaos
that’s what only you do
And I’m proud, so proud
of the man that you raised
Watch him walk like you taught him
head high through the maze
This one’s for your smile
for the work and the tears you hide
For the love that stayed present
right there by our side
[Pre-Chorus]
So we just had to say it
clear and true today
You make hard days softer
you take the weight away
[Chorus]
Keeps it running
keeps it running
you keep it running, love
Keeps it running
keeps it running
we’re thanking God above
(beautiful woman)
(the whole thing running)
[Bridge]
If I could wrap up all the years
I’d lay them at your feet
Every lesson, every sacrifice
every broken thing you mended neat
You’re the backbone, the blessing
the reason this home can breathe
Today we call your name out
and we mean everything we say
[Chorus]
Keeps it running
keeps it running
you keep it running, love
Keeps it running
keeps it running
we’re thanking God above
(beautiful woman)
(the whole thing running)
