[Intro]
One, two, three, four
[Verse]
I reach out to you today
Oh, can you help me pave my way?
I miss you and love you lots
But I'm strugglin' to find the plot
So I can live the life that you gave to me
The reason that I can breathe
When I don't wanna carry on, I think of you and change that thought
And know that there is more and that I am enough, yeah
Hey, mama, I know you're at work
But my chest is starting to hurt, alright, break
And I don't wanna let you down or make you worry, yeah
But these thoughts I have start to concern me
[Chorus]
Well, I'm not wantin' to live the life that you gave to me
The reason that I can breathe
When I don't wanna carry on, I think of you and change that thought
I know that there's more and that I am enough, oh, hey mama
[Post-Chorus]
Hey, mama, hi
Hey, mama, how you doin'?
Hey, mama
[Bridge]
Today is another day
So for you and me, I try to change my ways
I love you, and you should know that
Hazel's here, and she's got our back, yeah
[Chorus]
So I can live the life that you gave to me
The reason that I can breathe
When I don't wanna carry on, I think of you and change that thought
And know that there is more and that I am enough, alright, oh, hey, mama
[Post-Chorus]
Hey, mama
Alright, two breaks here (Oh)
Hey, mama, hi, yeah
Hey, mama, yeah
Alright, hey, mama, hey
Hey, mama, hey, last two words (Ah)
Hey, mama (Ah)
Ah (Hey, mama)
[Outro]
Happy birthday from mom
Miss you, love you, enjoy your day
I'll see you soon, bye

My mom and I have been through thick and thicker together. In my darkest moment, the thought of her reminds me that grace dreams, in its purest form, are worth desiring and already exist in my own life. My grandma Hazel gave my mom, and then my mom gave me the single most important thing: love.
