The Strongest Love

She woke before the sun came up each day,
To make sure all her children were okay.
She wore her hands down to the bone and skin,
And never once complained about the state she's in.

I didn't always see what she went through,
Too young to understand what mothers do.
But looking back I see it clear and plain,
She carried all our weight and took our pain.

(Chorus)
She is the reason I'm still standing here
She wiped away my every doubt and fear
The strongest love I've ever come to know
My mama, she never let go
My mama, she never let go

She kissed the bruises, dried the midnight tears,
She was the steady anchor through the years.
When the whole world felt cold and hard and rough,
Her arms were always warm and always enough.

I wish that I had said it more out loud,
The words she deserved to make her feel proud.
I love you mama, more than words can say,
And I will keep on saying it each day.

(Chorus)
She is the reason I'm still standing here
She wiped away my every doubt and fear
The strongest love I've ever come to know
My mama, she never let go
My mama, she never let go

She's not just a mother, she's my heart,
She held me close right from the very start.
And when I think of everything she's done,
I know that I'm the lucky one.

(Bridge)
If I could turn back every year gone by,
I'd hold her hand and look her in the eye.
I'd say the things I always meant to say,
And never waste a single precious day.
'Cause one day she won't be standing there,
And all you'll have is memories and a prayer.

(Chorus)
She is the reason I'm still standing here,
She wiped away my every doubt and fear.
The strongest love I've ever come to know,
My mama, she never let go.
My mama, she never let go.
She is the reason I'm still standing here,
She wiped away my every doubt and fear.
The strongest love I've ever come to know,
My mama, she never let go.
My mama, she never let go.
