Lord, I swear my mama's prayers
Have saved me more than once
Sky could fall, I'd never know
'Cause she would hold it up
Losing sleep, each breath she breathed
She did it all for us
But what happens to mama
When the kids grow up

There's something in the water
Between a mother and a daughter
No matter where I'm going
I'm never leaving you
You gave me your light
Now it's your time to shine
And the more that I'm growing
You don't know what to do
So don't you cry mama
This is a good problem
Your past ain't your purpose
No, you're only scratching the surface
Oh, and you deserve it

Can't believe, just 23
With a kid of your own
And all the years, the love, the tears
It's all you've ever known
Selfish ain't a word that ever fit you well
But now it's your turn
So go and give 'em hell

There's something in the water
Between a mother and a daughter
No matter where I'm going
I'm never leaving you
You gave me your light
Now it's your time to shine
And the more that I'm growing
You don't know what to do
So don't you cry mama
This is a good problem
Your past ain't your purpose
No, you're only scratching the surface
Oh, and you deserve it

Every mountain I've climbed
Was a mountain you moved
No doubt in my mind
I'm me because of you
And there's nothing you can't do

So don't you cry mama
This is a good problem
Your past ain't your purpose
No, you're only scratching the surface
Oh, and you deserve it

Lord, I swear my mama's prayers
Saved me more than once
