Prompt / Lyrics
“Hey Mom” (Verse 1) Hey mom, I’ve been thinkin’ ‘bout the way you held it down When the world got loud, you never made a sound Late nights, kitchen light, bills stacked high Still found a way to kiss my head goodnight (Pre-Chorus) You were stronger than you ever let me see Carried more than what you showed to me (Chorus) Hey mom, I hope you know You were my shelter in the cold Every tear you hid away Built the man I am today Yeah I ran, yeah I strayed Still you loved me anyway Hey mom… I’m finally sayin’ what I should’ve all along (Verse 2) Hey mom, I remember all those second jobs you took Worn-out shoes, tired eyes, but you never shook You made magic out of nothin’ every time Turned broken pieces into somethin’ that could shine (Pre-Chorus) I was young, didn’t see it like I do now Wish I could go back and thank you somehow (Chorus) Hey mom, I hope you know You were my shelter in the cold Every tear you hid away Built the man I am today Yeah I ran, yeah I strayed Still you loved me anyway Hey mom… I’m finally sayin’ what I should’ve all along (Bridge) If I could carry half the weight you did I’d still fall short of everything you give You were fightin’ battles I never knew And somehow still found time to pull me through (Break) Hey mom… I see you now (Final Chorus) Hey mom, I hope you know You were the heart inside our home Every scar you tried to hide Was love you couldn’t set aside If I never say enough Just know I felt it all as love Hey mom… yeah this one’s for you (Outro) Hey mom… I’m finally sayin’ it out loud Thank you for it all
