Mama, thank you for who I am 
 Thank you for all the things I'm not 
 Forgive me for the words unsaid 
 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

 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 [bad word] 
 And I miss you, yeah I miss you 

 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 

 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 [bad word] 
 And I miss you, yeah I miss you 

 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 

 And I know you believed in all of my dreams 
 And I owe ït all to you, Mama.
