A Song for Mama by David Kastling Music

Lyrics

Late nights in the dark when I couldn't sleep
You brought me tea and soup, sat with me through the fever deep
Made healthy meals I'd never choose on my own
But every bite reminded me I'm never on my own

In my weakest hour, your strength became mine

Umma, you were always there
With gentle hands and endless care
You never asked for much at all
Just caught me every time I'd fall
I don't say it like I should do
But Umma, I love you too

Every little game, recital, late-night ride
You cheered me on, so proud, your laughter by my side
Old songs on the road, your voice became my guide
Taught me storms don't break us, they're where hearts learn to fly

In my darkest moments, your hope kept me alive

Umma, you were always there
With gentle hands and endless care
You never asked for much at all
Just caught me every time I'd fall
I don't say it like I should do
But Umma, I love you too

All the dreams you shelved, the silent prayers you made
All the gentle scars you healed with every choice you made
I see you now—not just my mother, but my saving grace

Umma, you were always there
With gentle hands and endless care
You never asked for much at all
Just caught me every time I'd fall
I don't say it like I should do
But Umma, I love you too
