My Day Ones

Verse 1 
Before the world could break me, before I learned to hide my pain,
Before I stood in pouring storms and danced through all the rain,
I had two little heartbeats that gave my life a brand-new tone,
My son, my daughter, my forever loves, my day ones from the get-go.
They never needed fancy words to show me I was loved,
They were my angels walking here, my blessings from above.
And when this world got heavy, and I couldn't find my way,
My babies became my strength and helped me face another day.
Verse 2 
My son, he stood beside me when the world was throwing stones,
Wouldn't let them break his mama, wouldn't leave me there alone.
He'd defend my name with fire, stand his ground and speak his truth,
That protective heart inside him showed itself back in his youth.
When I couldn't find the strength to stand, he'd help me find my feet,
Reminded me that I was worthy when the world brought me defeat.
He may be my baby boy, but his love has made him tall,
And the son I brought into this world has helped me through it all.
Chorus
Y'all are my day ones, my forever, my ride-or-die,
The reason I kept reaching when I wanted to ask why.
When I couldn't walk, you carried me; when I fell, you helped me stand,
You put my heart back together with your little loving hands.
Let them throw their dirt, let them talk, let them try to dim my light,
My babies kept my name clean and reminded me of my might.
You're my life, my heart, my home, my stars when skies turn gray,
My son and daughter, my everything, my reason I'm here today.
Verse 3 
My daughter speaks with wisdom that can stop me in my tracks,
Her insight cuts through all the noise and helps me see the facts.
She'll tell me, “Mama, know your worth; don't let them steal your pride,
Don't ever shrink the woman you are just to keep somebody by your side.”
She demands that I respect myself, won't let me take less than I'm worth,
Reminds me I was someone special long before I came to earth.
Her words can be my mirror when my vision's clouded by the pain,
She helps me find the queen in me when I forget her name.
Verse 4
They watched me fight through battles that the world would never know,
Saw the tears behind my smile and all the hurt I wouldn't show.
While others threw their dirt on me, they knew the truth firsthand,
They never let the lies define me; they helped me firmly stand.
They knew the heart that raised them, knew the love behind my scars,
They saw me through my darkest nights when I couldn't see the stars.
And no matter what they said about me, no matter how low I fell,
My babies knew the woman underneath the stories people tell.
Chorus 
Y'all are my day ones, my forever, my ride-or-die,
The reason I kept reaching when I wanted to ask why.
When I couldn't walk, you carried me; when I fell, you helped me stand,
You put my heart back together with your little loving hands.
Let them throw their dirt, let them talk, let them try to dim my light,
My babies kept my name clean and reminded me of my might.
You're my life, my heart, my home, my stars when skies turn gray,
My son and daughter, my everything, my reason I'm here today.
Verse 5
There were days I felt so broken, I forgot the strength I had,
Days I questioned my own worth and wondered if life was always sad.
But somehow, through the wreckage, through the moments I felt small,
I could hear my babies' voices reminding me I wasn't lost at all.
They didn't have to heal my wounds or take away my pain,
They just loved me through the thunder till I found my sun again.
And every time I thought I couldn't take another step ahead,
The love I felt for them became the strength that moved my legs.
Verse 6 
One day they'll understand the depth of what they mean to me,
That they're the greatest part of who I am and who I'll always be.
I didn't raise them just to love me; I raised them to know their worth,
To never let a soul convince them they don't deserve this earth.
And if the world should turn against them, if they ever lose their way,
I'll be the arms that hold them close, the voice that says, “You'll be okay.”
'Cause long before they stood beside me, I was standing guard for them,
And I'll love them past forever, past the stars and back again.
Final Chorus
Y'all are my day ones, my forever, my flesh and blood,
My greatest gifts, my answered prayers, my shelter in the flood.
You held my head up high when life had brought me to my knees,
You loved me through the hurricanes and gave my heart some peace.
No lie could ever change the bond, no distance break our tie,
I'd fight a thousand battles just to see the sparkle in your eyes.
My son, my daughter, hear me now, let this truth forever ring:
Before I was anybody else, I was YOUR MOTHER FIRST—
AND YOU TWO ARE MY EVERYTHING!
Outro — (Spoken Through Tears)
