[Verse 1:]
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)

[Chorus:]
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, yeah I miss you

[Verse 2:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Verse 3:]
Mama I hope this makes you smile, I hope you're happy with my life
At peace with every choice I made how I've changed along the way
Cause I know you believed in all of my dreams
And I owe it all to you, mama
