The house was quiet, but your mind was loud Mapping out a future through every stormy cloud You wore the work boots and the Sunday dress Cleaning up the chaos, hiding all the stress I watched you balance worlds upon your back Filling every silence and every single lack A solo pilot flying through the dark Leaving us the fire, while you wore the spark. (Chorus) You’ve been the anchor holding fast, the light that is my guide With the strength of a mountain and the ocean deep inside You played both sides of a broken line Making sure the sun would always find a way to shine The mother and the father, the heart and the hand The one who stayed steady when we couldn't stand. (Verse 2) It wasn't always easy, I saw the shadows fall The weight of the ceiling, the height of the wall There were nights the gravity was just too much When the world felt heavy to the simplest touch I have seen you lose your crown but you always had picked it right back up Filling every spirit from an empty cup You dusted off the gold, you straightened out the grace And met the next morning with a smile on your face. (Bridge) You were the discipline and the soft place to land The no we needed and the yes in your hand Two roles, one soul, and a love that never quit Every time life tried to break you, you rose above it. (Chorus) You’ve been the anchor holding fast, the light that is my guide With the strength of a mountain and the ocean deep inside You played both sides of a broken line Making sure the sun would always find a way to shine The mother and the father, the heart and the hand The one who stayed steady when we couldn't stand. (Outro) Holding it down, year after year Turning every doubt into something we don't fear You’re the queen of the struggle, the hero of the home And because of you, Mom, we never felt alone. No, we never felt alone.
