Mama Hold Me

Lyrics

Verse 1
When I run to you
Your arms catch me first
Like a quilt of moonlight
Pulling up the hurt

Your hair smells like soap
And morning bread
I tuck my face in
And rest my head

Pre-Chorus
And everything small
Gets quiet there
My frightened heart
Can breathe the air

You hold me close
Like you always knew
There’s a safe, soft place
Inside of you

Chorus
Mamá, hold me now
Hold me now
In your arms I melt
I don’t fall down

Mamá, hold me now
Hold me now
(mamá, hold me now)
You make the whole world
Feel like home somehow

Verse 2
Your hands on my back
Are gentle rain
They wash away
The noise and pain

I hear your heart
Like a drum so slow
And I know, I know
I’m never alone

Pre-Chorus
So if the dark
Looks big tonight
I’ll find your chest
And hide my fright

One little sigh
And I can see
Your love is the place
That carries me

Chorus
Mamá, hold me now
Hold me now
In your arms I melt
I don’t fall down

Mamá, hold me now
Hold me now
(mamá, hold me now)
You make the whole world
Feel like home somehow

Bridge
If I were rain
You’d be the land
If I were a seed
You’d be the hand

And when I’m lost
You call me near
One tiny hug
And I disappear

Final Chorus
Mamá, hold me now
Hold me now
In your arms I melt
I don’t fall down

Mamá, hold me now
Hold me now
(mamá, hold me now)
You make the whole world
Feel like home somehow

Mamá, hold me now
Hold me now
(mamá, hold me now)
You make my heart
Feel brave somehow
