You taught me how to stand not fall
Through every storm through it all
Your love's a fire a glowing flame
Life without you could never be the same
You patched up hearts and dried my tears
Gave me courage chased my fears
A guiding light through darkened skies
Your wisdom's there in your soft eyes
Mama my teacher my friend to the end
Through every battle your soul won't bend
First and foremost you gave me my start
Mama you'll always live in my heart
Your hands held mine through every fight
Your laughter turned the dark to light
Roots you planted I carry strong
Your lessons taught me right from wrong
If I could be half the soul you are
I'd shine as brightly as the north star
Your love's the rhythm the song divine
Forever I'm grateful for every sign
Mama my teacher my friend to the end
Through every battle your soul won't bend
First and foremost you gave me my start
Mama you'll always live in my heart
