Lyrics

There were many hands

Before I knew my name

Giving me breath

And shaping my way

I didn’t see it then

I only lived the days

But something in that love

Was guiding me to this day

Some let me go

Some held me close

Different roads

Same kind of hope

And somewhere in between

What I can’t explain

There was a woven thread

Sewing joy through the pain

Thank you Mama

For the life you gave to me

For every moment

You carried me

Through every door

I couldn’t see

Thank you Mama

For the life you gave to me

Y’avait beaucoup de mains

Avant j’connaissais mon nom

T’as donné moi la vie

Pis t’as montré mon chemin

Moi j’voyais pas ça

J’vivais jour après jour

Mais l’amour que t’avais

M’a mené jusqu’à aujourd’hui

Y’en a qui m’ont laissé aller

Y’en a qui m’ont gardé proche

Des chemins différents

Mais le même espoir

Pis quelque part là-dedans

Que j’peux pas expliquer

Y’avait un fil cousu

Dans la joie pis la peine

Merci Maman

Pour la vie que t’as donné à moi

Pour chaque moment

Que t’as porté moi

À travers les portes

Que j’voyais pas

Merci Maman

Pour la vie que t’as donné à moi

I don’t know the story

I don’t need it told

I just need you to know

You made my story gold

In a mercy written long before

You were chosen, I am sure

Your yes became my beating heart

And I’ve carried that love from the start

Thank you Mama

For the life you gave to me

For the road that’s rough

And the grace that saved me

You planted my feet

On this earth to find

A purpose rising

In this soul of mine

Through the wounds

I’ve learned to heal

Through the storms

I’ve learned to feel

And lead with hands

That serve and bind

Thank you Mama

Your life lives in mine
