Mama

Mama, thank you for who I am
 Thank you for all the things I'm not
 Forgive me for the words unsaid
 And 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, 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, oh
 Mama, I hope this makes you smile
 I hope you're happy with my life
 At peace with every choice I've made
 How I've changed along the way
 Along the way
 'Cause I know you believed
 In all of my dreams
 And I owe it all to you, mama
