[Intro]
Soft steps in the dark, I call your name
Moon-wrapped and tender, you answer the flame
[Verse 1]
Mother of night, steady as the sea
In every bruise of wind, you shelter me
Your breath, a prayer I feel in my chest
Guiding me home when I doubt I’m blessed
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold me slower than the sorrow, hold me near
Whisper the shelter I can hear
[Chorus]
Mother, keep me warm when the world is cold
Teach me to rise, even when I’m old
In your arms I learn to endure and forgive
You are the strength that helps me live
[Verse 2]
Rusted bridges, broken roads of fear
You stitch them with memories I hold dear
Your lullaby is a compass in the rain
Calling me onward, through every pain
[Pre-Chorus]
Close to your heart, I find a resting flame
Your quiet courage writes my name
[Chorus]
Mother, keep me warm when the world is cold
Teach me to rise, even when I’m old
In your arms I learn to endure and forgive
You are the strength that helps me live
[Bridge]
If shadows gather, I will stand still and breathe
Your voice becomes the light I believe
When I tremble, I’ll hear you say, “Be brave”
{softly} You’re safe, you’re held, you’re loved today
[Chorus]
Mother, keep me warm when the world is cold
Teach me to rise, even when I’m old
In your arms I learn to endure and forgive
You are the strength that helps me live
[Outro]
Guarded by your grace, I walk toward the dawn
With you beside me, I am never gone
