You held my hand
So steadily
Taught wobbly legs
To carry me
It's my first step
Mama I don't know how to let you go
Roust me from bed
Make sure I eat
Help find my books
Shoes for my feet
First day of school
Mama I don't know how to let you go
Bought me a suit
I'm looking good
Reminded me
Act as I should
Off to the prom
Mama I don't know how to let you go
Always there for me
For those important things
Gave me what I needed to be strong
But now my heart is weak
I'm not ready to believe
The time has come
To face this world alone
The Doctor called
Gave me the news
It feels unfair
You're gone too soon
You've been called home
Mama I don't know how to let you go
I feel alone
Mama I don't know how to let you go
You've been called home
Mama I don't know how to let you go
