[Verse]
Born with the rhythm of your tender hands
A steady beat in a shifting land
Your whispers cradled me through storm's embrace
I see your strength etched in every trace
[Chorus]
Oh mama you gave me life
Through all the laughter through all the strife
Now I'm learning how to make it mine
Your love's the root where I start to climb
[Verse 2]
Every wrinkle's a story you've worn with pride
Every tear a river you never tried to hide
You've carved the way with fire in your soul
Loving me free while paying life's toll
[Chorus]
Oh mama you gave me life
Through all the laughter through all the strife
Now I'm learning how to make it mine
Your love's the root where I start to climb
[Bridge]
Some days are heavy with silence and sound
Wisdom like shadows on solid ground
But I see you in the mirror when I try
Your spirit's the wings that teach me to fly
[Chorus]
Oh mama you gave me life
Through all the laughter through all the strife
Now I'm learning how to make it mine
Your love's the root where I start to climb
