[Verse 1] Mama, you may not be blood But you held my world up When the house went cold You kept my name warm You learned all my bruises Knew my silence too You stayed through the mess Like only you do [Pre-Chorus] And I was so small You were so strong You made a home Out of what was wrong [Chorus] Mama by heart Mama by heart You never let go When I fell apart Mama by heart Mama by heart I love you deeper Than words can start (Mama by heart) [Verse 2] You packed my lunches Fixed my torn sleeve Taught me to stand When I could barely breathe There were nights you cried Where I could not see Still you wore your love Like it was for me [Pre-Chorus] And I was so lost You were so brave You turned your hands Into the place I stayed [Chorus] Mama by heart Mama by heart You never let go When I fell apart Mama by heart Mama by heart I love you deeper Than words can start (Mama by heart) [Bridge] If the world forgets I will not forget Every scar you hid Every prayer you sent You gave me a life You gave me a start Blood is one thing Love is the heart [Final Chorus] Mama by heart Mama by heart You never let go When I fell apart Mama by heart Mama by heart I love you forever For all that you are (Mama by heart)
