[Verse]
She held my hand when the storms would rise
Her voice like a quilt on the coldest nights
"Son
You’ll stumble
But you’ll stand tall
"
Her words built me like bricks in a wall
I was wild
I was free
I was hers to tame
A boy with no map
Just her steady flame
[Chorus]
The thread between us
It stretches
It bends
From the cradle of childhood to where it all ends
She said
"Be a good man
Be a strong one too
But don’t forget love—it’ll carry you through."
[Verse 2]
She watched me fall for a love of my own
The way her eyes smiled
You’d think she’d known
"She’s your partner now
Your hand to hold
But don’t lose the lessons in stories I told."
I saw her hands grow worn and slow
Yet her spirit danced in the seeds she’d sown
[Bridge]
Now she steps back
The horizon’s wide
Her laughter echoes where the memories bide
"Go raise a family
Build it strong
But don’t forget where you came from
Son."
[Chorus]
The thread between us
It stretches
It bends
From the cradle of childhood to where it all ends
She said
"Be a good man
Be a strong one too
But don’t forget love—it’ll carry you through."
[Verse 3]
And here I stand
With a boy of my own
Her voice in my heart
Though her body’s gone
I’ll teach him kindness
To be brave and true
Like the lessons she whispered
Soft as dew
The thread’s still there
Though time’s moved on
A mother’s love
It lingers strong
