Lyrics
Verse 1
Mama, I saw your storms
How you stayed in the fight
You took that old ache
And turned it into light
I watched you rise again
When the world tried to take
You chose your own name
Then you broke that chain
Pre-Chorus
Now I see your hands
Full of love and grace
Every scar you wear
Put me in my place
You kept on showing up
For the hurt and the tired
Even when your own heart
Had been running on fire
Chorus
Momma, I'm proud
Proud to be your son
Momma, I'm proud
Look at all you've done
You came out clean
You came back strong
Momma, I'm proud
You were right all along (right all along)
Verse 2
You fed the whole house
With a heart so wide
Held your Kids close
When they had nowhere to hide
You helped me, "Stand up!"
"Keep my feet, keep my truth"
Now I wear your words
Like a badge of proof
You don't just heal yourself
You heal everybody near
Teach us how to hope
Overcome that fear
Pre-Chorus
When I see your hands
Full of love and grace
Every scar you've worn
Puts me in my place
You still keep showing up
When I'm hurt and I'm tired
Even when my heart
Has been running on fire
Chorus
Momma, I'm proud
Proud to be your son
Momma, I'm proud
Look at all you've done
You came out clean
You came back strong
Momma, I'm proud
You were right all along (right all along)
Bridge
If I ever doubt
I look at you
Proof that broken nights
Can still come through
You didn't just survive
You learned how to give
And every day you gave
Has taught me how to live
Final Chorus
Momma, I'm proud
Proud to be your son
Momma, I'm proud
Look at all you've done
You came out clean
You came back strong
Momma, I'm proud
You were right all along (right all along)
Momma, I'm proud
Proud to be your son
Momma, I'm proud
You're my rising sun
You came back clean
You came back strong
Momma, I'm proud
I'll sing it all day long (all day long)
