Hold On, Mama

Yeah, this one’s for my mama, I gotta say

Thoughts I keep inside, I wanna change someday

You’re trying hard, I see the effort in your eyes

A little bit of sunshine in a world filled with lies

You been through struggles, still standing tall

But I’re cold, I’m distant, I’ve built up some walls

Why I push away when I should hold on tight?

Gotta forgive the past, make peace tonight

You’re my mama, no matter what you’ve done

We can find the brighter days, over and beyond

Can’t we turn the darkness into light?

Start to cherish every moment in our sight

Forget the past, let’s make a brand new start

Listen to your mama’s heart

Remember the nights you kept me safe and warm?

Now I treat you harsh, like it’s some kind of storm

You came from the south, living a hard life

Now you here, trying to learn to feel alive

Why I push away when I should hold on tight?

Gotta forgive the past, make peace tonight

You’re my mama, no matter what you’ve done

We can find the brighter days, over and beyond

Can’t we turn the darkness into light?

Start to cherish every moment in our sight

Forget the past, let’s make a brand new start

Listen to your mama’s heart

All the anger, all the pain, let it fade away

Tomorrow’s a new day, let’s start today

Hold her close, hear her call, she’s trying her best

Love that woman, forget the rest

Yeah, this one’s for my mama, I love you so

Time to let go, let our love grow
