Mom

Verse 1
As I sit here and think,
With my mind so clear,
I’m wishing you were here
I know you didn’t want to depart…
Because you knew you’d break my heart
I was fortunate to know and love you for 28 years
Times have passed since you were near

Pre-Chorus
Every memory plays like a song in my head
Your voice still whispers everything you said

Chorus
At times I feel like a ticking bomb
Just because I don’t have my mom
But I know you’re watching me from up above
Taking steps with me wherever I go
You’re a person I can’t forget
You were my mom and also my friend

Verse 2
Some nights I talk to the ceiling
Like you’re right in the room
Trying to hold on to the feeling
That I’ll see you again soon
Life keeps moving, but my heart stays
In the warmth of your embrace

Pre-Chorus 2
Even when the world feels cold and alone
I feel you with me, I’m never on my own

Chorus
At times I feel like a ticking bomb
Just because I don’t have my mom
But I know you’re watching me from up above
Taking steps with me wherever I go
You’re a person I can’t forget
You were my mom and also my friend

Bridge (soft, almost spoken)
If love could build a staircase to the sky
I’d walk it barefoot just to see your eyes
Until that day, I’ll live the way you showed
With strength, with grace, and an open soul

Final Chorus (gentle, comforting)
I don’t feel so lost when I feel your love
Even in silence, you’re enough
You’re watching me from up above
And I carry you wherever I go
Forever a part of who I am
My mom… my angel… my friend

Outro
As I sit here and think
With my mind so clear
I smile through the tears
Knowing… you’re still here
