[Verse 1] Mama, you knew my name Before I knew my pain You held the storm in your hands When I could barely stand You wore your tired like gold Kept all my secrets close I was the child in your arms You were the fire in the dark [Pre-Chorus] And when I fall apart You find the missing parts You make the cold feel small You catch me when I fall [Chorus] Mama’s my friend I love you Mama’s my friend I need you When the world gets hard You pull me through Mama’s my friend I love you [Verse 2] I see your face in mine In every scar, every line You gave me more than a home You taught me how to be strong Now I hear your voice at night Saying, “baby, hold on tight” And even when I’m miles away Your love still knows my name [Pre-Chorus] And when I fall apart You find the missing parts You make the cold feel small You catch me when I fall [Chorus] Mama’s my friend I love you Mama’s my friend I need you When the world gets hard You pull me through Mama’s my friend I love you [Bridge] If I could give you back Every tear you ever kept Every borrowed breath you spent I would, I would For every broken day You stayed and never left Mama, you were everything My first forever friend [Final Chorus] Mama’s my friend I love you Mama’s my friend I need you When the world gets hard You pull me through Mama’s my friend I love you Mama’s my friend I love you
