Dear mama

(Intro)
Don't worry, Mama...
You raised a good kid...
The world just changed me.
Yeah...

(Verse 1)
Don't worry, Mom, you raised a good soul,
I had big dreams, I was chasing one goal.
Life threw punches, left scars on my heart,
Tried to break my spirit, tried to tear me apart.

You taught me respect, you taught me to care,
Now I'm fighting battles nobody can share.
I smile on the outside, hiding the pain,
Walking through sunshine, standing in rain.

They judged my story before knowing my name,
Turned love into pressure and hope into shame.
I never forgot every lesson you gave,
I'm still that little boy you're trying to save.

(Pre-Chorus)
If these tears ever fall, don't blame yourself.
You gave me the tools, life tested my health.
The man that I am still carries your light,
Even when I'm losing another long fight.

(Chorus)
Don't worry, Mom, you raised a good kid,
The world got cold, that's just what it did.
I never stopped loving, I never stopped trying,
Even when my soul felt tired of fighting.

Don't worry, Mom, don't carry the blame,
I'm still your son, I'm still the same.
The world left wounds that nobody sees,
But your love still lives inside of me.

(Verse 2)
I've fallen down more than I'll ever admit,
Still standing somehow, I refuse to quit.
The road got darker than I ever planned,
But I still hear your voice saying, "Stand."

Every mistake became part of the climb,
Every lost second taught me with time.
The pain wrote chapters, the tears wrote songs,
Now I'm finding where my heart belongs.

If I make it tomorrow, we'll celebrate then,
If I stumble today, I'll get up again.
'Cause the blood in my veins carries your strength,
I'll keep moving forward whatever the length.

(Bridge)
Mama, your prayers still cover my soul,
Even when I'm broken, they make me whole.
The world may bend me, but it won't define me,
Your love is the reason the light still finds me.

(Outro)
So don't worry, Mom...
You raised a good kid.
Life got hard, but my heart still lives.
I'll keep walking, I'll keep believing,
One day you'll smile and say...
"My son made it."
