Still Here

"MAMA" by UnAlejandro
(dedicated to my mother)

I remember little footsteps, 
your hand holdin’ mine.
First day of school, 
you wiped my tears and said
"You’ll be just fine."

You cheered the loudest when I lost, 
and louder when I won,
All the tears you’ve shed, 
all my fears you shred
now I’m strong.

So many nights I broke in tears.
You whispered, “baby, I’m always here”
And even when I couldn’t see
You believed enough for me

Mama
you taught me how to stand, how to walk, how to fly.
How to hold on to my heart and keep my spirit high.
You gave me roots so I could grow, 
raise me up ‘n’ let me go.
And now my sails are set to sail, 
I know you pray I’ll never fail.

Mama, 
you are the light behind my flame
Life without you will never, 
never be the same.

When all they say I’m not enough, 
my shelter was your endless love.
With every prayer you ever pray, 
you gave me strength to carry on.

The solid ground beneath my feet, 
the rock when I would shake.
You carried every burden so I'd have less to take.

Mama,
you taught me how to stand, how to walk, how to fly.
How to hold on to my heart and keep my spirit high.
You gave me roots so I could grow, 
raise me up ‘n’ let me go.
And now my sails are set to sail, 
I know you pray I’ll never fail.

Mama, 
you are the light behind my flame
Life without you will never, 
never be the same.

Mama, you gave me all I’d ever need 
to chase the storms and rise
I didn’t say it near enough 
you’re the queen of my life.

Mama,
you taught me how to stand, how to walk, how to fly.
How to hold on to my heart and keep my spirit high.
You gave me roots so I could grow, 
raise me up ‘n’ let me go.
And now my sails are set to sail, 
I know you pray I’ll never fail.

Mama, 
you are the light behind my flame
Life without you will never, 
never be the same.

MAMA!!!
you're the star that guides my way.
You’re the reason I became 
who I became.
