Oh Mama Sarah

Verse

Some people walk through this world so gentle,

You barely hear the sound of their feet,

But somehow their love stays all around you,

Like a memory you can always keep.

Mama Sarah, you were my shelter,

The one I could always run to,

You taught me lessons life could never teach me

The way only your love could do.

Chorus

Oh Mama Sarah,

You were my safe place, my friend.

The one who held my tears together

When my whole world felt like it would end.

Oh Mama Sarah,

I’d give anything for one more day,

To hear your voice call out my name

And tell me everything’s okay.

Verse

You never judged the things I told you,

Never shared what was mine to say,

You listened close, you loved me deeply,

And called to check on me almost every day.

You fed my body, fed my spirit,

Corrected me with patient hands,

And when life got hard and I was hurting,

You helped me learn to stand.

Chorus

Oh Mama Sarah,

You were my ride or die through it all,

The one who waited, laughed, and traveled

Every time I made that call.

Oh Mama Sarah,

I still hear your laughter in my mind,

The kind that lived both deep inside

And shined so brightly every time.

Verse

I still remember Moss Grocery laughing,

Five jars shattered on the floor,

And you blamed me while we both were laughing

Like we’d done it all before.

And when Bear kept barking in that caravan,

You moved faster than I’d ever seen,

And Lord, that was the first time I heard you curse,

Still one of the funniest things to me.

Bridge

You never lied,

You never started trouble,

You carried burdens no one knew.

But through it all,

You never forgot

The ones who meant the most to you.

Chorus

Oh Mama Sarah,

The pain of losing you cuts deep,

Because the love you gave so freely

Is a love I’ll always keep.

Oh Mama Sarah,

Though my heart is breaking today,

I thank God He let me call you mine

Before He called you home to stay.

Outro

I had the best Mama,

And that truth will never fade.

Your love will live inside my heart

Every single day.
