[Verse 1] Mama, I know it’s been a little while, Packed my bags, had to walk my own mile. Left the porch light burnin’ back at home, But I had to chase the man I’d never known. [Pre-Chorus] Every mile, every tear, every sleepless night, I swore I’d make it worth the sacrifice. I see your face in the stars up high, Whisperin’ to me, "Boy, spread your light." [Chorus] I had to go so I could grow, Learned some things I didn’t know. Built a dream with these two hands, So I could give you all I am. And one day soon, I’ll stand up proud, Look you in the eyes and say out loud— "I found my way, I found my way back home." [Verse 2] Daddy’s old words still ring in my head, "Ain’t about the money, son, it’s the life you’ve led." So I work these days with fire in my soul, Tryna turn this pain into solid gold. [Pre-Chorus] Every storm, every fall, every lesson learned, Taught me love is somethin’ you gotta earn. I see your face in the stars up high, Whisperin’ to me, "Boy, spread your light." [Chorus] I had to go so I could grow, Learned some things I didn’t know. Built a dream with these two hands, So I could give you all I am. And one day soon, I’ll stand up proud, Look you in the eyes and say out loud— "I found my way, I found my way back home." [Bridge] (Soft gospel choir harmonies 🎶✨) Oooooh, through the fire, through the rain, Every step led me home again. All the love that you gave me, all the prayers you said, Kept me strong, kept me fed… [Final Chorus] (Drums swell, vocals soar 🎤🔥) I had to go so I could grow, Learned some things I didn’t know. Built a dream with these two hands, So I could give you all I am. And now I stand, right here, right now, Look you in the eyes and say out loud— "I found my way, I found my way back home." [Outro] [Piano fades] [Strings hum softly] [A deep breath…] Mama, I know it’s been a little while… But I finally found myself in every mile. I found my way I found my way I found my way I really found my way!
