Mama’s Boy

[Verse]
He sat me down at the kitchen table, hands shaking like a leaf,
Said, "Mama, there's something 'bout me I need you to believe."
His voice was soft, his eyes were wide, searching for my grace,
But all I felt was thunder, and tears ran down my face.
[Chorus]
He's always been my baby, my shadow in the sun,
A piece of me forever, my heart, my only son.
I prayed for strength to hold him, as the fear began to fade,
'Cause love ain't meant to crumble when the truth gets laid.
[Verse 2]
I went to church that Sunday, knelt down in the pew,
Asked the Lord for guidance, "Tell me what to do."
The answer wasn’t fire, it wasn’t judgment's call,
It was love wrapped up in whispers, saying, "He's your boy, that's all."
[Chorus]
He's always been my baby, my shadow in the sun,
A piece of me forever, my heart, my only son.
I prayed for strength to hold him, as the fear began to fade,
'Cause love ain't meant to crumble when the truth gets laid.
[Bridge]
The neighbors might be talkin’, but their words don't mean a thing,
I’ll shout it from the rooftops, let the church bells ring.
My arms are open wider than they ever were before,
He’s my boy, my precious boy, and I couldn't love him more.
[Verse 3]
Now I see the man he’s grown to be, so brave and standing tall,
And I thank the Lord for teaching me to love him through it all.
He still calls me "Mama," still my sunshine, still my pride,
And I’ll be there to cheer him on, forever by his side.
