Dear Mom

I love you, mom
It’s Danny

Dear mom, dear mom
I hope you know that this is your song

Yeah
Dear mom, everything you did was worth it
All the sacrifices taken when the picture wasn’t perfect
I could see it in your face when I was young and all your burdens
Are reminders to keep pushing when I'm working on this circuit
I remember in the Canada cold
Delivering papers out the trunk when I was sick, going door to door
You used to say God got me, I was meant for more
And that we was broke cause he was fixing what we had in store
I remember that momma used to beat my ass
Then I would be mad and crying while she worked a back to back
Then she’d wake me up and tell me that I’d better get to class
And then I graduated and she stood up and I saw her clap
Mom, we used argue now I know you were right
I'ma tell my kids the same to be in before street lights
Not to steal, do right, live, laugh, play, fight
And everynight pray to God on both knees with closed eyes
Everybody’s got a mom, everyone relates to this
There’s no way we can repay them for the things they all did
This a message to the queens around the world who go to war
And sacrifice to make a better life for all of their kids
Tuesday night you would drive me to practice
Church on Sunday, midnight masses
Pushed me hard, I couldn’t be stagnant
Kept me calm despite the madness
You cooked and kept me fed
Then knelt and prayed beside my bed
You’d whisper in my ear
And I still hear those words inside my head
Mom knows best
Can’t talk back, can’t disrespect
Can’t forget
You held me in your stomach despite all the pain, all the stress
Can’t neglect
Laid the bricks to my success
And dedicated all your time to make sure that I did my best
Mom, I hope you know this is your song
I hope memorize and always sing along
I hope you know I know you did your best
And every single step you ever took was to assure I never did no wrong
Can’t nobody break this bond
It’s infinite and then beyond
And when they ask my reason I just say your name as my response
My love for you could stretch across
A 100 seas and light a galaxy
I'm trying to say that can’t nobody ever turn it off
Mom, thank you is not enough
You’re the reason that I'm here and why I can’t give up
And every single time I fall
And every time I'm stuck
You call me knowing something’s wrong innately and you pick me up
And even when we miles away I promise we’re not out of touch
Cause nothing can connect the world the way a loving mother does
For all those double shifts, I saw you work, I never saw you fuss
And that’s why when I'm tired I keep going cause I know must
Work to ensure you get the life you deserve
Dear mom, you’re an angel
So again I'm saying, thank you for the memories
And time I feels like heaven on earth
And while I know I can’t repay you, I'm just tryna say I'm grateful
For your sacrifice and love and always putting me first
Mom, I hope that you take these words
And never ever have think about or question your worth
For all your pain and your hurt
For all your struggle and work
Mom, for giving me birth
I want to say
Dear mom, this a letter from your son
Those 3 jobs you were working, yeah, they probably wasn’t fun
All the weight that you were carrying, it probably weighed a ton
So I made this song today to finally tell you that you done

I love you, mom
Dear mom, dear mom
I hope you know that this is your song
