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

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 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
Along the way

And I know you believed
In all of my dreams
And I owe it all to you,
Mama
