Mother’s Day

Verse 1: I used to wake up thinking About the cards I’d write What flowers felt like enough What words felt right I’d picture you in the doorway The way you always stood Like love was something simple If you did it good Verse 2: Now the morning feels different I hear footsteps down the hall Little hands reach for mine Before I’m ready at all There’s a mirror in these moments I didn’t see before I’m standing where you stood On the other side of the door Pre-Chorus: I didn’t lose you I didn’t let you go I just stepped into something You already knew Chorus: It’s Mother’s Day now And I finally see How love keeps changing But stays with me Every lesson, every way You showed up, stayed It’s Mother’s Day now And I’m learning what that means Verse 3: I catch myself saying things I swore I never would The patience in my voice Feels familiar — feels good I don’t have all the answers I don’t pretend I do But I know how to love Because I watched you Pre-Chorus: I’m not replacing I’m not moving on I’m carrying forward What you passed along Chorus: It’s Mother’s Day now And I finally see How love keeps changing But stays with me Every sacrifice you made Every quiet way you stayed It’s Mother’s Day now And I’m learning what that means Bridge: I used to hold your hand Now someone’s holding mine Different seasons, same love Different place in time Final Chorus: It’s Mother’s Day now And I stand here strong With your love behind me And mine moving on I don’t have to say goodbye To who I’ve been It’s Mother’s Day now And I know where I am Outro: I know where I am now
