Mommy
Sue & Selah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

'Cause once a day your voice is everything I need
And all the things you've done gave me power to succeed
Listen, I fell so many times but you pulled me through
But in time I'll find myself yeah, I hope you see that too

'Cause when I feel scared, sometimes I do
And when I feel scared, it seems that life is harder than I ever knew
Yeah when I feel scared, you are the only one who knows just what to say
So here am I to thank you

Hey there little girl, wake up and see
And take your time to grow, 'cause that is what you really need
And I cried so many times but you pulled me through
And I know it sounds cliché yeah, but I can't live without you

'Cause when I feel scared, sometimes I do
And when I feel scared, it seems that life is harder than I ever knew
Yeah when I feel scared you are the only one who knows just what to say




So here am I to thank you
So here am I to thank you
