Mama I See You

Back then I didn't understand why you worked so hard with those tired hands Barely sleeping, always stressed Still you smiled and did your best Told me, baby, don't you cry Hid the truth behind the lullaby I was young, thought life was free But time has shown what you did for me Years went by and things got clear Every struggle, every tear Mama, I see you, I see you Everything you gave, I'll carry it through Through the highs, through the lows You never let go Mama, I see you, just wanted to tell you Mama, I see you, I see you Everything you gave, I'll carry it through Through the highs, through the lows You never let go Mama, I see you, just wanted to tell you I remember nights you sat alone Waiting on a call that never showed Trying to be strong, hiding your pain Wiping your tears before morning came You told me some things take time But not everything will fall in line Back then I never understood But you were doing all you could Years went by and things got clear Every struggle, every tear Mama, I see you, I see you Everything you gave, I'll carry it through Through the highs, through the lows You never let go Mama, I see you, just wanted to tell you Mama, I see you, I see you Everything you gave, I'll carry it through Through the highs, through the lows You never let go Mama, I see you, just wanted to tell you You taught me strength, you taught me grace Showed me how to hold my space You didn't have all the answers then But you did your best again and again It's my turn to give you peace Make sure you have what you need Mama, I see you, I see you Everything you gave, I'll carry it through Through the highs, through the lows You never let go Mama, I see you, just wanted to tell you So mama, rest up You don't have to fight Let me hold you down Like you held me every night So mama, rest up You don't have to fight Let me hold you down Like you held me every night Mama, I see you, I see you Everything you gave, I'll carry it through Mama, I see you, I see you Everything you gave, I'll carry it through Mama, I see you, I see you
