“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
