We Love You, Mom

[Verse 1]

Mom, you taught me to keep my head up
When I don't know what tomorrow brings
You taught me to stand for who I am
And never bend for anything

You showed me strength isn't never breaking
It's finding a way to rise again
And when this fight gets hard to carry
I hear your voice say, "Don't give in"

[Pre-Chorus]

You never asked me to be someone else
You only ever asked me to be me
And when I can't see past the hard days
You remind me of who you taught me to be

[Chorus]

We love you, Mom
And we hope you know it's true
Every part of who we are
Has a little piece of you

You taught us to keep fighting
You taught us to stand tall
And when this life gets heavy
You taught us we can face it all

We love you, Mom
For every sacrifice
For every little thing you've done
That you thought we never noticed
But we did

And if we become half the person
You've always believed we could be
Then Mom, you should know
That's the greatest gift you've given us

[Verse 2]

Mom, you always saw something in me
Even when I couldn't see it myself
You told me not to let my fears
Decide the life I wanted for myself

You never laughed at all my crazy dreams
You never told me they were too much
You just kept saying, "Keep on going"
And somehow that was always enough

[Pre-Chorus]

You taught me never to change myself
Just because somebody doesn't understand
To hold onto what I believe in
And keep my dreams inside my hands

[Chorus]

We love you, Mom
And we hope you know it's true
Every part of who we are
Has a little piece of you

You taught us to keep fighting
You taught us to stand tall
And when this life gets heavy
You taught us we can face it all

We love you, Mom
For every sacrifice
For every little thing you've done
That you thought we never noticed
But we did

And if we become half the person
You've always believed we could be
Then Mom, you should know
That's the greatest gift you've given us

[Bridge]

We've said goodbye to people
We never thought we'd have to lose
Dad, Grandma, Whiskers, Precious
And somehow we kept making it through

There were nights we weren't sure
Where tomorrow would take us
Times we wondered if we'd even have a home
But somehow, Mom, through every storm
You made sure we never felt alone

And we still remember that lake
The burgers, the boat, the sky turning black
Hail coming down like needles
And all three of us running for cover
Trying to save whatever we could grab

And somehow we were laughing
Because that's just what we do
Even when the storm is coming
We find our way back to each other
We always do

[Final Chorus]

We love you, Mom
And there's nothing more to say
You've given us a lifetime
Of reasons to be grateful every day

You taught us to be fearless
You taught us to be true
You taught us when life knocks us down
To stand back up and make it through

We love you, Mom
And we're proud of who you are
For every dream you helped us chase
For loving us exactly as we are

And if we could give you anything
For every year you've given us
We'd give you every dream come true

Because, Mom...

You gave us everything.
