[Verse 1]
I was just a boy with no clue of the fight,
two years and a half,you held me through the night.
Papa's gone, the silence grew,
But all I ever knew… was you.
No helping hands, no guiding flame,
Just your strength through every pain.
You dried your tears before we saw,
Built us up with love and law.
[Pre-Chorus]
At five, I walked through schoolyard gates,
Alone but brave—your love was fate.
You worked all day to keep us fed,
I held on to the words you said.
[Chorus]
Mama, you're my only hero,
You gave your all so we could grow.
Faced the world with calloused hands,
Stood your ground and made a stand.
You burned so bright, you bore the flame,
Never once did you complain.
I’d trade the world for just one hug,
To hear your voice, to feel your love.
[Verse 2]
At twelve, I saw you lost in thought,
You cried in silence, battles fought.
I said, “I’ll quit and help you through,”
You said, “No child, your dream is due.”
You borrowed hope from banks and skies,
And gave us wings with sacrifice.
[Bridge]
You never loved again, you stayed—
Kept Papa’s vow, through every day.
Now you rest where angels go,
Still loving him—I feel it so.
[Final Chorus]
Mama, you're my only hero,
Your legacy is all I know.
We walk with strength you passed to us,
We live with pride, we live with trust.
And when I look up to the skies,
I see your fire, I see your light—
Forevermore, you'll guide me through...
My only hero… Mama, it’s you.
