Mama, I've Changed

[Verse] Mama, I've been through the ringer, to hell and back, I swear, Spent too many nights lost in bottles, hoping you'd still care. But I found a light in the darkness, a guide through every storm, Picked myself up, made a promise, to change and be reborn. [Verse 2] I remember Sunday mornings, biscuits, and your sweet tea, You'd hum those hymns soft and gentle, pull me onto your knee. Now I'm humming to my own tune, making good on my name, Trying to be the man you raised, not bring you more shame. [Chorus] Mama, I've changed, I'm standing proud and tall, I took your love and made it through it all. From every wrong turn, I've found my way, I'm a better man, I hope you know today. [Verse 3] I see the road ahead now, clear skies and open land, Each step I take, I feel your heart, guiding this old hand. The scars I've got, they tell a tale, of lessons learned and bruised, But every pain and every fall, it brought me back to you. [Bridge] Mama, if you could see me, I hope your heart would smile, I've come so far, to be this man, it only took a while. Your prayers, they never left me, in every tear and plea, I know I've found the strength in me, from the love you set free. [Chorus] Mama, I've changed, I'm standing proud and tall, I took your love and made it through it all. From every wrong turn, I've found my way, I'm a better man, I hope you know today.
