“Oh Mama” 🤱🏻

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Oh Mama,
You wake before the sunrise paints the sky,
Coffee growing cold while you keep the whole world alive.
Hands worn down from holding everything together,
Palms rough like old roads that survived every weather.
Feet aching from standing all day long,
Still you hum through the pain like a healing song.
You clean, you cook, you carry silent fears,
And somehow still wipe away everybody else’s tears.

Oh Mama,
You gave your last piece so we could have enough,
Smiled through the heartbreak, acted strong when life got rough.
You stitched broken hearts with trembling hands,
Built a home out of hope when nothing went as planned.
You were there when the lights went dark,
Holding us close through every wound and scar.
When the world turned cold and nobody cared,
Oh Mama… you were there.

(Pre-Chorus)
You taught us how to rise when we fall apart,
How to keep love alive inside a shattered heart.
You told us we were worthy when the world said no,
Planted seeds inside us and taught us how to grow.

(Chorus)
Oh Mama, Oh Mama, Oh Mama,
If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be here.
Oh Mama, Oh Mama, Oh Mama,
You carried our dreams through every doubt and fear.
You pushed us to bloom, to become who we are,
To reach beyond pain and still shoot for the stars.
And even when your soul was tired and torn apart,
You still held this family together with your heart.

Oh Mama…
Happy Mother’s Day.
Oh Mama…
We love you all the way.

(Verse 2)
Oh Mama,
You taught us disabilities don’t define our worth,
That every single soul deserves a place on this earth.
You said, “Work twice as hard if you have to, just believe,
Because capable hearts can achieve beyond what eyes can see.”
You pushed us toward college, toward purpose, toward light,
Stayed awake beside us through every sleepless night.
You celebrated tiny victories nobody else could see,
Because to you, our smallest steps were history.

You held us while quietly unraveling inside,
Breaking, cracking, becoming brittle while trying to hide.
Still you smiled so we would never feel your pain,
Danced in the storm while standing in the rain.
You carried burdens no child could ever know,
Yet somehow still found room to help us grow.
Oh Mama, your love is fierce and wild,
A warrior’s spirit wrapped around a frightened child.

(Bridge)
And this is for the mothers who didn’t share our blood,
The foster moms who held us when life became a flood.
The grandmothers, stepmothers, aunties standing tall,
The women who chose to love us through it all.
The mentors online sending hope through a screen,
The nurturing souls teaching us what love means.
The teachers, caretakers, neighbors, and friends,
The ones who stayed beside us when the road wouldn’t end.

A mother is more than biology or name,
It’s sacrifice, devotion, an everlasting flame.
It’s choosing to stay when leaving would be easy,
Holding someone together when life gets heavy.
It’s the voice saying, “Don’t give up, keep fighting on,”
Even when her own strength is nearly gone.

(Verse 3)
Oh Mama,
You are bedtime prayers whispered in the dark,
The steady beating rhythm of a hopeful heart.
You are bandaged knees and late-night drives,
The reason broken children learn how to survive.
You are warm meals after impossible days,
A lighthouse guiding us through raging waves.
You are every gentle “I’m proud of you,”
Every impossible thing we somehow made it through.

And one day when the world remembers our names,
When we rise above every struggle and pain,
We’ll point back to the woman who carried us through,
And say, “Everything beautiful began with you.”

(Final Chorus)
Oh Mama, Oh Mama, Oh Mama,
You held us together while falling apart.
Oh Mama, Oh Mama, Oh Mama,
You gave us your soul, your strength, your heart.
You taught us to fight, to dream, to believe,
To stand even taller when life made it hard to breathe.
And no matter how far in this life we may roam,
Your love will forever be our home.

Oh Mama…
For every sacrifice nobody saw.
Oh Mama…
For every time you gave us more.
Oh Mama…
For the love that never fades away.

Thank you for always being here.
Happy Mother’s Day.
Oh Mama… Oh Mama… Oh Mama.
