[Female Vocal Intro – soft, airy, almost whispered]
Mama, I still hear you in the dark
Saying love could travel farther than the stars
Before I knew the world could break a heart
You wrapped me up and told me who we are
[Verse 1]
When I was little, you would tuck me in
Nightlight glowing on the bedroom wall
You made the universe feel small enough
For your love to reach across it all
You said, “I love you around the world and back again
Through the stars and around again
To infinity and infinity power
That’s how much I love you”
And I carried every word you gave
Like a prayer beneath my skin
Now it lives beside my heart
So I never forget it again
[Pre-Chorus]
When your body started fighting
And the fear came creeping in
I put your love where my heart beats
So I could keep you close within
You still smile through the tired
Still show up through the pain
You bend but you don’t break, Mama
You keep walking through the rain
[Chorus – soft R&B, emotional]
You loved me past the moonlight
Past the places I could see
Around the world and back again
You made a home in me
Through the stars and through the hurting
Through the nights I couldn’t breathe
To infinity and infinity power
That’s how you loved me
[Verse 2]
We work side by side and sometimes it gets hard
We both got fire, we both got scars
But even when the days get heavy
I know exactly who you are
You’re the one who came and got me
When I was breaking at his door
Picked me up from all that pain
When I couldn’t fight no more
You knew the road because you’d walked it
You knew the sound of fear
But you pulled me back to safety
And reminded me I’m still here
[Bridge – stripped down, intimate]
You been through storms you never deserved
Still somehow kept your softness
You gave me strength when I had none
Even when it cost you something
And I know we don’t always say it right
Sometimes love comes out too loud
But every part of who I am
Is because you stayed around
[Final Chorus – big emotional finish]
I love you past the moonlight
Past the places you can see
Around the world and back again
You made a home in me
Through the stars and through the hurting
Through every prayer I’ll ever breathe
To infinity and infinity power
That’s how much you mean to me
You’re my mother, you’re my best friend
You’re the reason I believe
That love can go around the world
And still come back to me
[Outro – female vocal, soft, fading]
Around the world and back again
Through the stars and around again
To infinity and infinity power
Mama, that’s how much I love you.
