[Verse 1]
Mama, I was just a kid
With mud on my boots
And a heart full of questions
You had answers for the truth
You packed my lunch
And you packed my courage too
Every little road I took
Was paved by love from you
[Pre-Chorus]
When the world got heavy
You lifted me high
With tired hands and a steady smile
You taught me how to try
[Chorus]
If everybody had a mama like you
This old world’d look a whole lot new
A little more kind
A little more true
If everybody had a mama like you
(Mama like you)
(Mama like you)
[Verse 2]
I remember rainy Sundays
You standing at the sink
Saying, “Boy, keep going
You’re stronger than you think”
You prayed over my name
When my faith ran thin
And you loved me at my worst
Like I’d never hurt a bit
[Pre-Chorus]
When I lost my way
You were my north star
Now I see your love in me
Like a scar that made me hard
[Chorus]
If everybody had a mama like you
This old world’d look a whole lot new
A little more kind
A little more true
If everybody had a mama like you
(Mama like you)
(Mama like you)
[Bridge]
So if I ever make it far
It won’t be just my own two hands
It’ll be your voice in my bones
It’ll be your faith in the man
You gave me roots
You gave me wings
You gave me everything
[Chorus]
If everybody had a mama like you
This old world’d look a whole lot new
A little more kind
A little more true
If everybody had a mama like you
(Mama like you)
(Mama like you)
[Outro]
Yeah, mama like you
There’s only one
And I’m the lucky one
