Mama

Took a trip down memory lane
I saw your tears fall like rain
And it hurts to know
He’s wasted your years

In a flash he’s taken away
The promises from your wedding day
But what surprised me the most
Is your joy’s like gold

Pressure makes diamonds
And life tries to take them
Don’t cast your pearls to swine
I guess it would have been a little different
If we knew that at the time

There’s something that you carry
So I know that you’ll be fine
Beautiful eyes beautiful smile
Dearest mother of mine

Hello. How you doing mama?
Ima’ take us to the top
Gonna feed our hunger
Oh my. Your love breathes through me
Through the years I see
Sacrifice of she.

Oh hi. How’s it going mama?
What’s it like at the top
With no better other?
Oh my. Your grace breathes through me
Through the years I see
Sacrifice of she

You’re a light that never goes out
It burns bright and it sticks around
But even when no one’s home
I’m never alone

Battle wounds and burning scars
You’d think that life would break your hear
But when I reach for the moon
You gifted me the stars

Pressure makes diamonds
And life tries to take them
Don’t cast your pearls to swine
I guess it would have been a little different
If we knew that at the time

There’s something that you carry
So I know that you’ll be fine
Beautiful eyes beautiful smile
My dearest mother of mine

Wake up in the morning with my mood down low
Fry ups in the kitchen with that morning glow
Always lean on you when clouds start to show
From thunderstorms to the first drop of snow
