mama

thank you for who i am

thank you for all the things i'm not

forgive me for the words unsaid

for the times i forgot

mama

remember all my life

you showed me love

you sacrificed

think of those young and early days

how i've changed along the way

and i know you believed and i know you had dreams

and i'm sorry it took all this time to see

that i am where i am because of your truth

and i miss you

yeah

i miss you

mama

forgive the times you cried

forgive me for not making right

all of the storms i may have caused

and i've been wrong

dry your eyes

dry your eyes

'cause i know you believed and i know you had dreams

and i'm sorry it took all this time to see

that i am where i am because of your truth

and i miss you

i miss you

mama

i hope this makes you smile

i hope you're happy with my life

at peace with every choice i made

how i've changed along the way

'cause i know you believed in all of my dreams

and i owe it all to you

mama
