[Verse 1]
You were there
When the world felt loud
Soft hands
Strong heart
Pulled me from the crowd
Late-night talks
When I fell apart
You stitched my doubts
Back into a start
[Chorus]
Mama
You lift me up
Every time I’m falling
You’re the steady love
Answer when I’m calling
I’m grateful for the way
You hold my fragile heart
Mama
You lift me up
You’ve been my light from the start
[Verse 2]
We got lost
On the way to that show
Laughing at the wrong turn
Windows down
Slow
Sang our lungs out
To every song we heard
Kept that ticket
Like a pressed-rose word
[Chorus]
Mama
You lift me up
Every time I’m falling
You’re the steady love
Answer when I’m calling
I’m grateful for the way
You hold my fragile heart
Mama
You lift me up
You’ve been my light from the start
[Bridge]
All I am
Is built on what you gave
Every risk I take
Every step I’m brave
If I shine at all
It’s your reflection in me
Love like yours
Sets a spirit free (ohh)
[Chorus]
Mama
You lift me up
Every time I’m falling
You’re the steady love
Answer when I’m calling
I’m grateful for the way
You loved me from the start
Mama
You lift me up
You’re the rhythm of my heart
