Mama, thank you for who I am Thank you for all the things I’m not Forgive me for the words unsaid For the times I forgot Mama, remember all my life You showed me love, you sacrificed Think of those young and early days How I’ve changed along the way (Along the way) And I know you believed and I know you had dreams And I’m sorry it took all this time to see That I am where I am because of your truth And I miss you, yeah, I miss you Mama, forgive the times you cried Forgive me for not making right All of the storms I may have caused And I’ve been wrong, dry your eyes, dry your eyes ‘Cause I know you believed and I know you had dreams And I’m sorry it took all this time to see That I am where I am because of your truth And I miss you, I miss you Mama, I hope this makes you smile I hope you’re happy with my life At peace with every choice I made How I’ve changed along the way ‘Cause I know you believed in all of my dreams And I owe it all to you, mama
