[Verse 1] I was barely grown myself Trying hard to hold it together Then you wrapped your hand around my finger And my whole world changed forever Middle of the night, bottles warming Half asleep, counting every breath Terrified I’d somehow fail you While loving you more than life itself Tiny socks across the bedroom Cartoons playing way too loud I didn’t know what I was doing But I knew I’d never let you down [Pre-Chorus] No guidebook No perfect road Just a young heart learning as we go [Chorus] And when the world gets cold When the sky forgets to shine I hope you hear my voice Somewhere deep inside Saying you were always worth it Every sleepless night and scar And no matter where life takes you Mama’s always got your heart [Verse 2] Then one little laugh turned into two Tiny footsteps down the hallway Living room dance parties after bad days Finding joy in the chaos always I watched you learn to say your feelings Watched your own dreams come alive Every year you grew a little taller And somehow took my heart each time There were days I felt exhausted Days the whole world felt too hard But hearing you call me “Mama” Could pull light back through the dark [Pre-Chorus] I made mistakes I know it’s true But there was never a day I didn’t choose you [Chorus] And when the world gets cold When they make you doubt your light I’ll be the one still clapping Long after the night You were never hard to love Not even from the start And no matter how old you get Mama’s always got your heart [Bridge] One day you’ll look back at photographs At tired eyes and messy rooms And maybe then you’ll finally notice I was growing up beside you too I didn’t always say the right things Didn’t always know where to start But every choice I made came from A mother trying with her whole heart So if life leaves you feeling broken If the world pulls you too far Come back home and let me remind you Exactly who you are [Final Chorus] When the world gets heavy And nothing’s going like you planned I hope you know there’s still a place That will always understand Where somebody sees your goodness Even when it’s hard to start And no matter where this life may lead you Mama’s always got your heart Even when the road gets lonely Even when the days are hard You will always be my babies No matter who you are [Outro] So when the sky feels dark above you And you don’t know where to start Close your eyes and hear me saying Mama’s always got your heart Always.
