You’re Still My Home

[Verse 1] Mama, this song is for you, For everything you've done and everything you do. You raised two kids, a son and a daughter, Gave us your strength, your love, and your honor. Your little boy grew up to be your king, Your little girl became your queen. But no matter how grown we get, We're still those babies you held against your chest. You showed up when nobody else would, Gave us everything, did more than you should. And if we never said it enough before, Mama, you're the one we'll always adore. [Pre-Chorus] We don't always see eye to eye, Sometimes we argue, sometimes we cry. But one thing time could never change, A mother's love will always remain. [Chorus] You're still my mother, still my home, Even five hundred miles away, I'm never alone. Through every storm, through every fight, Your love still holds me every night. We might not talk for a day or two, But nothing could change my love for you. Through all the ups, through all the downs, Mama, your love is where I'm found. You're still my mother, my heart, my queen, The strongest woman I've ever seen. And if there's one thing you should know, We love you more than words could ever show. [Verse 2] Sometimes we go a day without speaking, But that don't mean our love is weakening. And when that phone finally rings, You already know the first thing you'll say to me: "You always got something on from your mama!" And we laugh like we ain't had no drama. 'Cause every time I come back to Brooklyn, Your closet's the first place I'm looking. I take your jacket, your shirt, maybe two, 'Cause everything I wear reminds me of you. You might say, "Girl, leave my clothes alone!" But Mama, that's how I take a piece of home. [Pre-Chorus] Five hundred miles between our doors, But your love still feels like it did before. No distance could ever tear apart, The woman who first held my heart. [Chorus] You're still my mother, still my home, Even five hundred miles away, I'm never alone. Through every storm, through every fight, Your love still holds me every night. We might not talk for a day or two, But nothing could change my love for you. Through all the ups, through all the downs, Mama, your love is where I'm found. You're still my mother, my heart, my queen, The strongest woman I've ever seen. And if there's one thing you should know, We love you more than words could ever show. [Bridge] Mama, I know I'm not that little girl anymore, But I'll always need your love, that's for sure. And even when we disagree, You'll always be a part of me. Sometimes we're stubborn, sometimes we're proud, Sometimes our words come out too loud. But underneath it all, one thing stays true, There's no one in this world who could replace you. And when I walk through Brooklyn streets, I feel the memories underneath my feet. I open your closet, and I smile, Taking a little piece of you for five hundred miles. [Final Chorus] You're still my mother, still my home, Even five hundred miles away, I'm never alone. Through every storm, through every fight, Your love still holds me every night. We might not talk for a day or two, But nothing could change my love for you. Through all the ups, through all the downs, Mama, your love is where I'm found. You're still my mother, my heart, my queen, The strongest woman I've ever seen. And if there's one thing you should know, We love you more than words could ever show. [Outro] Mama, you're still my home, Five hundred miles, but never alone. We love you more than words could show.
