Because You're My Mom

I remember nights you stayed awake
Fixing dreams for me you didn't break
You gave your love without a price
Holding my fears with your sacrifice

You had no crown, but you're a queen
Strong in ways no one has seen
You carried storms so I could smile
Walked with me every single mile

Because you're my mom, I rise each day
You lit my world, showed me the way
You're the voice inside my fight
The warmest hug on coldest nights
No words enough, no song complete
To match the love beneath your feet
I'm who I am 'cause you believed
Because you're my mom, I'm free

I saw your tears behind your smile
Hiding your pain all the while
You gave me roots and wings to fly
And still you're near when I cry

If I could go back in time
I'd say thank you one more time
I'd hold you longer, love you more
Like you did for me before

Because you're my mom, I rise each day
You lit my world, showed me the way
You're the voice inside my fight
The warmest hug on coldest nights
No words enough, no song complete
To match the love beneath your feet
I'm who I am 'cause you believed
Because you're my mom, I'm free
Because you're my mom, eternally
