[Verse 1] Through every heavy winter and every darkest night, You were the steady candle, my quiet, guiding light. I know I was no angel, I was wild, untamed, and blind, Leaving jagged little tracks and a trail of doubts behind. I did things that I regret, walked roads I shouldn't go, Said harsh words in anger that pierced you deep and low. [Verse 2] I watched the sorrow settle in the corners of your eyes, Yet even in my bitter moments, you answered with no lies. You never turned your back, you never locked the door, You pulled me from the edges when I was broken on the floor. You carved away the rough spots, you weathered every storm, And built a heart of gold in me, steady, fierce, and warm. [Pre-Chorus] Everything good inside my chest, every piece of who I am, I owe directly to your grace, your patience, and your hand. This world outside grows colder now, hard and full of noise, Stealing away the gentle days, taking all our quiet joys. [Chorus] Mama, I’m your soldier now Standing on the line Mama, I’m your soldier now Guarding what you gave me [Verse 3] The calendar keeps turning, the years are stacking high, And grey is creeping softly as the seasons hurry by. But beneath this hardened armor, no matter where I roam, I’m still your little baby boy, just trying to make it home. I still hear your gentle voice whispering in my ear: “Keep your chin up, son, don’t you yield to fear.” [Verse 4] They’ll try to drag me to the mud, to break my spirit down, To laugh at every struggle and try to see me drown. But I’ve been through the fire, I know what pain can do, And every scar I carry keeps me walking straight to you. I promise you right now, Mom, I will not let them win, I’ll wipe the dirt right off my face and pull the courage in. [Bridge] I’m getting back on my feet, stepping forward in the light, With your love running through my veins, I’m ready for the fight. If the whole world leans on me, I’ll stand and hold the frame, ’Cause everything I am came from the hands that shaped my name. [Chorus] Mama, I’m your soldier now Standing on the line Mama, I’m your soldier now Guarding what you gave me [Verse 5] Through every heavy winter and every darkest night, I carry what you taught me like a fire burning bright. I was wild, I was broken, but you never let me fall, Now I’m standing here for you, and I owe you my all. Mama, I’m your soldier now And I’m ready for the fight
