Verse 1
Before I knew the world could break,
Before I knew what fear could be,
There was a voice that calmed the storms,
A pair of arms that carried me.

You kissed my scraped-up knees away,
You held my hand through every fall,
And somehow through the passing years,
You’ve never let me lose it all.

Pre-Chorus
Some people search a lifetime long,
For a love that’s pure and true.
I found mine before I took my first breath,
The day God gave me you.

Chorus
You’re the heart that raised mine,
The light that helped me see.
The steady hand, the faithful soul,
The best part of me.

When this world gets cold and heavy,
You’re the warmth that pulls me through.
If home is more than walls and windows,
Then home has always been you.

Verse 2
You taught me strength ain’t being hard,
It’s loving when it hurts the most.
You showed me grace in quiet ways,
In moments nobody else knows.

You’ve seen every version of my soul,
The broken, lost, and scared.
And every time I needed saving,
I turned around and found you there.

Pre-Chorus
I’ve never had to wonder where
My place in this life would be.
Your love became the roots beneath
The woman I’ve grown to be.

Chorus
You’re the heart that raised mine,
The light that helped me see.
The steady hand, the faithful soul,
The best part of me.

When this world gets cold and heavy,
You’re the warmth that pulls me through.
If home is more than walls and windows,
Then home has always been you.

Bridge
And someday when the years have written
Silver through your hair,
I hope you see yourself the way
I see you standing there.

Not just my mother, not just my guide,
But the reason I believe
That the strongest kind of love on earth
Is the kind that never leaves.

Final Chorus
You’re the heart that raised mine,
The song inside my soul.
The hands that built my confidence,
The love that made me whole.

And if heaven ever called you home,
A part of me would go too.
Because no matter where this life may lead,
My heart will always find you.

Outro
Before I knew the world at all,
Before I ever learned my name,
You loved me first…

And nothing’s ever been the same.
