[Verse]
She was a single mom just trying to make it
Her smile
Yeah it shined but sometimes she'd fake it
Burning daylight
Holding on by a thread
She'd laugh with the world but cry when in bed
[Prechorus]
Bills on the counter
Dreams on the floor
Every knock at the door felt like a chore
[Chorus]
She was raising kids
Building a throne
Every connection became stone
A stranger’s shadow
They’d walk away
But she kept standing anyway
[Verse 2]
Morning coffee cold
Her hands still shaking
Her heart a fortress
The walls were aching
She gave her love
Left none for herself
The world’s demands left her on the shelf
[Bridge]
But oh
Her eyes could hold a storm
Fierce and wild
A quiet reform
Through the chaos
Through the night
She found her own kind of light
[Chorus]
She was raising kids
Building a throne
Every connection became stone
A stranger’s shadow
They’d walk away
But she kept standing anyway
