Buy My Mom a House

Sometimes the world sits heavy on my shoulders

But there's always been someone making it feel lighter

When there's a lump inside my chest, more like a boulder

And it's too much

Sometimes I put myself to bed before the sun's down

'Cause if I keep on treading water then I might drown

But there's that voice that's always been a little more loud

Saying, "Get up"

Yeah, she raised me to be resilient

So if I'm half the woman she is, I'll be proud

She's the whole reason I haven't thrown the towel in

She believed when everybody had their doubts

Loved her fully even when I wouldn't show it

So the second that I can I'm gonna show her good things come back around

Oh, the second that I make it where I'm going I could finally pay her back

I'm gonna buy my mom a house

She made every holiday the most magical moment

And if we were struggling I never would've known it

Sure she was lonely but she never would've shown it

Not to us

And when I'd lose all faith she'd show me I could dream

Beyond things I could barely see

It taught me how I could create my own reality

She gave me everything to carry out her legacy

So if I'm half the woman she is, I'll be proud

She's the whole reason I haven't thrown the towel in

She believed when everybody had their doubts

Loved her fully even when I wouldn't show it

So the second that I can I'm gonna show her good things come back around

Oh, the second that I make it where I'm going I could finally pay her back

I'm gonna buy my mom a house

So when I'm stable on the solid ground she built

I'll get to finally take her place and turn the tables

Yeah, the second that I make it where I'm going I could finally pay her back

I'm gonna buy my mom a house

"Hi, it's mom. I called you few times. Umm, give me a call back if you can. Okay, love ya. Bye bye."
