Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I was just a boy, two years and a half, Didn’t know the meaning of goodbye, Papa left this world too soon, And Mama wiped my every cry. No helping hands, just her and us, Three children in a world so wide, She worked alone, she fought the dark, With silent strength and stubborn pride. [Pre-Chorus] At five, I walked to school alone, She couldn’t come—she had to fight, I held my dreams inside my hands, While she worked morning into night. [Chorus] Mama, my only hero, You carried all the weight alone, Never asked for anyone, You built this house into a home. You gave your youth, your heart, your fire, So we could chase a better view, And I would give the world today Just for one more day with you. [Verse 2] At twelve I saw her lost in thought, A silent tear she tried to hide, I said, “Don’t worry, I won’t go to school, I’ll work instead and stand with pride.” She looked at me with burning eyes, And said, “I’ll find a way, just trust— You’ll go to school, you’ll chase your dreams, I’ll carry you, no matter what.” [Pre-Chorus 2] And when my brother left for school, And sister flew to chase her light, It was just me and Mama now, Holding hands through every night. [Chorus] Mama, my only hero, You carried all the weight alone, Never asked for anyone, You built this house into a home. You gave your youth, your heart, your fire, So we could chase a better view, And I would give the world today Just for one more day with you. [Bridge] I saw you cry when no one saw, You missed the ones who’d flown too far, But you still smiled, you still stood tall, Even as your body bore the scars. Your soul was tired, your heart was brave, You kept your vow to only love, The man you lost, you held so dear Now you both shine from above. [Final Chorus] Mama, my only hero, The love you gave will never fade, Through every scar, through every pain, You never let us feel afraid. You gave your all, you kept your word, You stayed so strong and true… And I will carry all you were I’ll make you proud, like you would do. [Outro] If love could live beyond this life, Then I know this must be true There’s such a thing as soulmates, And Papa’s waiting there for you. Mama… I’ll always love you.
