Olady

Verse 1

Mama, you loved me when I was hard to hold

Yeah, you loved me when my heart ran cold

Every flaw I carried, every wrong I knew

You saw the good in me when I couldn’t see it too

When the world turned its back and let me fall

You were the only one who answered my call

Pre-Chorus

I’ve had friends say forever, lovers swear they’d stay

But you’re the only soul who never walked away

Chorus

I know your time here’s running thin

And I dread that day when the light goes dim

Part of me prays for your pain to cease

Even though it’ll shatter every part of me

When you’re gone, this world’ll feel so wrong

I’ll miss you, Mama… every night, every dawn

Verse 2

Life ain’t been gentle, it’s been rough on you

Wrong turns taken, storms you never knew

Some choices cut deep, left scars unseen

Years of quiet suffering, pain tucked in between

Now your body’s fighting something without a name

Doctors shake their heads, can’t explain the pain

Pre-Chorus

You carried burdens you never let me see

Smiled through the hurt, just to protect me

Chorus

I know your time here’s running thin

And I dread that day when the light goes dim

Part of me begs for your soul’s release

Even though it’ll tear the heart out of me

When you’re gone, this world’ll feel so wrong

I’ll miss you, Mama… every night, every dawn

Bridge

If love was medicine, you’d never be sick

If prayers were answers, you’d still be here with me

I’d trade every breath just to take your pain

But all I can do is hold your hand and sing

Final Chorus (slow, stripped-down)

I know your time here’s almost through

And I don’t know how I’ll make it without you

I hate this goodbye, but I love you enough

To want you free from this hurting and this hurt

When heaven calls and you finally rest

You’ll still be the heartbeat inside my chest

Outro

Yeah… you had my back when nobody would

Mama, if love was enough, you’d still be good
