Mum

She held my hand through storms and rain Carried me through joy and pain Every word and every prayer Built the strength that brought me here Her laughter filled the darkest nights Made the wrongs feel almost right Now I'm standing here alone But I feel her in my bones Mum, you're the light I'm walking toward Every shadow fades when I hear your words Though you're gone, you're still so near In my heart, you're always here Mum, your my guiding star No matter how close, no matter how far She taught me how to stand and fight With quiet grace, a burning light Held me when my world would break Gave me more than I could take Through every breath, you're in the air A part of me, forever there Why you had to go away I feel your love with me each day Mum, you're the light I'm walking toward Every shadow fades when I hear your words Though you're gone, you're still so near In my heart, you're always here Mum, your my guiding star No matter how close, no matter how far I close my eyes, and there you are In every beat, in every scar I hold on tight, I won't let go The love you gave is all I know Now when I'm lost and I need a friend I feel your strength inside again Through every breath, you're in the air A part of me, forever there Mum, you're the light I'm walking toward Every shadow fades when I hear your words Though you're gone, you're still so near In my heart, you're always here Mum, your my guiding star No matter how close, no matter how far No matter how close, no matter how far No matter how close, no matter how far I miss you dear oh how I wish you were here
