Momma had dreams too

“Mama Had Dreams Too”

(Country ballad)

Verse 1

I was just a girl with a wild heart beatin’

Dreamin’ of stages and songs on the radio

Then life came knockin’, I was sixteen years old

Holdin’ a future that nobody could know

Two months past seventeen, I held my first baby

Looked in those eyes and gave everything away

Traded my young years for diapers and midnight cries

And I’d do it all again today

Chorus

’Cause I wanted to be a mama, and I wanted to be loved

I wanted little hands reaching up to me from above

I gave my whole life, every tear and every mile

Put my own dreams on a shelf just to see them smile

Now I’m fifty-five, and the house is quiet tonight

The babies I raised have their own wings to fly

But it hurts when they judge me for chasing my own sky

Mama had dreams too… and they never died

Verse 2

Four beautiful children, grown and standing tall

Built their own lives, found their own way

I worked and I worried, I prayed through the hard times

And somehow kept everybody okay

I wasn’t perfect, Lord knows I made mistakes

But every choice I made came from my heart

Now they look at me like I’m somebody different

Just because I’m trying to make a new start

Chorus

’Cause I wanted to be a mama, and I wanted to be loved

I wanted little hands reaching up to me from above

I gave my whole life, every tear and every mile

Put my own dreams on a shelf just to see them smile

Now I’m fifty-five, and the house is quiet tonight

The babies I raised have their own wings to fly

But it hurts when they judge me for chasing my own sky

Mama had dreams too… and they never died

Bridge

Maybe they don’t remember all the nights I stayed awake

Or the pieces of myself I gave away

But a mother’s heart keeps loving through the silence

Even when the love don’t come back the same

Final Chorus

I wanted to be a mama, and I’m proud of who they are

Even if they don’t see the battles and the scars

And I’ll keep on singing, keep believing in the light

Keep following the dreams I’ve carried all my life

At fifty-five, I’m finally finding me again

Not just somebody’s mother, but a woman with a pen

And if they can’t understand it, I’ll still be alright

’Cause mama had dreams too…

And tonight, I’m gonna let them fly. ❤️🎶
