My Everything (A Mother's Love)

Lyrics

I grew up with no one holding my hand
Learned to walk alone, learned to understand
That life don't wait, and tears don't pay the bills
So I built my walls and I swallowed all the feels
Then you came along, my reason to breathe
The moment I held you, I finally believed
That love is real, that hope has a face
You are my home, you are my safe place
But the world is cruel and the road is steep
I made a promise, Lord, but it's hard to keep
I said I'd never leave, just like they left me
But survival forced my hands, now you can't see
You are my everything, my reason to fight
You are the morning when I lose sight of light
I left but I never, never let you go
Every mile between us, baby, you should know
Every sacrifice, every sleepless night
Every job I hated just to make things right
Was all for you, was all for you
You are my everything, and I'm coming through
I see myself in you, and it breaks my heart
Same story, different chapter, torn apart
I promised I'd be different but life wrote the script
And I carry that guilt on every single trip
But I work through the pain, I set aside my pride
I do what I gotta do with you on my mind
No partner, no safety net, just faith and will
I'm climbing this mountain and I'm climbing still
I know you don't understand it yet, you're still so young
But one day you'll read these tears like a mother tongue
I did this all for us, I did this for your name
So you'd have something better, so you'd never feel the same
You are my everything, my reason to fight
You are the morning when I lose sight of light
I left but I never, never let you go
Every mile between us, baby, you should know
Every sacrifice, every sleepless night
Every job I hated just to make things right
Was all for you, was all for you
You are my everything, and I'm coming through
The table's gonna turn, I feel it in my bones
We've been through the storm, but we won't die alone
Thank You God I'm still breathing, still standing tall
Still got hope in my chest, still got love after all
Someday we'll sit together, laugh about the rain
And everything I suffered won't be suffered in vain
You are my everything, my reason to fight
You are the morning when I lose sight of light
I left but I never, never let you go
Every mile between us, baby, you should know
Every sacrifice, every sleepless night
Every job I hated just to make things right
Was all for you, was all for you
You are my everything, and we're gonna make it through
Hold on, baby girl, Mama's fighting still
With or without anyone, I know I will
The table's turning, love is on the way
We're gonna win this life, we're gonna have our day..
