[Verse 1] Her hands knew my name Before I knew my own Flour and Bible stains On the counter at home She tied my shoe tight Then wiped my face clean Like love was a habit And not a thing to be seen [Pre-Chorus] When the world got loud She held me still A little blue light A stubborn will She said, “Baby, breathe” And I believed Safe in the circle Of what she’d give [Chorus] Momma’s hands, Momma’s hands Held my broken pieces Momma’s hands, Momma’s hands Pulled me back from freefall If I forget who I am I go back to that Momma’s hands, Momma’s hands They still know my heart [Verse 2] Now the house is quiet But the porch still creaks I hear her laugh in the screens Of those summer weeks Her ring on the sink Her keys by the door Little traces of grace I still walk toward [Pre-Chorus] When I’m up too high Or I sink too low I feel her voice In the way I go “Baby, stand tall” That old soft call Like a thread through the dark Keeping me whole [Chorus] Momma’s hands, Momma’s hands Held my broken pieces Momma’s hands, Momma’s hands Pulled me back from freefall If I forget who I am I go back to that Momma’s hands, Momma’s hands They still know my heart [Bridge] And if my own hands shake When the night comes down I pray I can love Like she taught me how Open wide Stay kind Hold on tight Let go in time [Chorus] Momma’s hands, Momma’s hands Held my broken pieces Momma’s hands, Momma’s hands Pulled me back from freefall If I forget who I am I go back to that Momma’s hands, Momma’s hands They still know my heart
