[Chorus]
Always, there for us, cause she cared, for us, one and only, mother, staring down, from the heavens, blessings from, up above, (one love) angel in the sky, watching over us (one love)
[Verse 1]
She taught me, everything, how to read, and write—, ride a bike, tie my shoes, right from wrong so, I can choose better—, she was patient, she was kind, took the time, to entertain—, my thousand questions, inquisitive mind, of a youngster, wondering about, things like—, who created God, why we all, gotta die and sin, against all odds,—, will we make it, into heaven, then that day, came and went—, she was gone before, I made it home, from school, it was hard—, to thank the Lord, as a child, in the moments, when your smile—, was just broken, only thing you think, as your, heart sinks is —, if he’s the savior, then why, he didn’t save her, why did she, have to die, so soon—, from there forward, it was all, doom and gloom but, as I got older—, got humbled by, the trials life, grew closer, to the word—, then finally, I understood, everything, was working out, for our good—, we were blessed with, a baby brother, on that day, and we love him, like no other—, wouldn’t trade him, if we could, grew up in, some broken home—, but the, bonds and struggle, made us stronger, love and, miss you mama,
[Chorus]
Always, there for us, cause she cared, for us, one and only, mother, staring down, from the heavens, blessings from, up above, (one love) angel in the sky, watching over us (one love)
[Verse 2]
All I know is, God you, really did your thing, with this one—, created someone special, hands of the potter, molded something, genuine and precious—, it’s like the, sun rays, were absorbed, directly in her veins—, the way she, use to, brighten up our days, as we laugh and played—, made sure, we didn’t go astray, church on, every Sunday,—, Morning Star, Baptist service, secretary, grandma telling me—, to be still, every, other second, thinking back—, it took me, a long time, to learn, how to chill—, but I ain’t tripping, cause I earned, a lot a whippings, with my actions—, coming up, but overtime, I learned, to appreciate—, the tough love, cause I, got to live, long enough—, to comprehend, the lessons, that’s a certified, blessing—, but no matter what, I still can’t, shake the feeling—, missing having you, here still, break down, in tears—, cry alone, cause I have, to be strong, oldest out the bunch—, so I never had, the luxury, of expressing, how I feel—, we didn’t have, those avenues, as youths, grew up, without hugs—, only heard, the word love, in the movies, but we, observed—, everyone’s actions, thanks to, all those who, took us in, family, and friends, love and, miss you mama,
[Chorus]
Always, there for us, cause she cared, for us, one and only, mother, staring down, from the heavens, blessings from, up above, (one love) angel in the sky, watching over us (one love)
