The Encouragement Kid - Dry Your Eyes Mama

Dry your, eyes Mama
No need to, cry Mama
I promise, we'll be fine Mama
We'll be fine Mama
Dry your, eyes Mama
No need to cry Mama
I promise, we'll be fine Mama
We'll be fine Mama

Thinking back to when I saw you fall down
Hyperventilating on the couch
When Dad said he wanted out
Now I'm on that same couch, writing songs uplifting people's doubt
And making you proud
See it all comes around Mama
I wanna lift you up when you're down Mama
I'm starting to get it now Mama
But we always had the power Mama
The power to change
To get around these boulders in our way
Weight of the world on your shoulders but you never break
Never stray, ay
Helping me find my way
I remember Valentine's day
Single mother shit so your heart was bleeding
But you still got up early to write a love note on my window backwards
Just so I could read it
That was the shit that I needed
The Encouragement Kid
Without you Mama
I wouldn't be it
Please believe the influence you had on my life I see it
Every day I live, I beam it
It shines out of me like a light, night and the day
When it's dark I wanna light the way
And best believe I will
Every single day working on my skills
I pray soon I can help to pay your bills
You've been through the worst trauma, but still
Brave facing life sober never taking pills
I'll do all I can as a man
The rest is in God's hands
So have faith in me, cause I have faith in you
When I live far away from you
My heart stays with you
Dreams stay dreams, but with work you can make them true
I know there are fears in the bottom of your heart Mama
Caused by trauma Mama
But you're a solider and always will be
I'm always here for you, and always will sing

Dry your, eyes Mama
No need to, cry Mama
I promise, we'll be fine Mama
We'll be fine Mama
Dry your, eyes Mama
No need to cry Mama
I promise, we'll be fine Mama
We'll be fine Mama

You've spent your whole life fighting for everybody else
Now it's time to fight for yourself
I'll never give up on you cause you never gave up on me
Giving your best to me
Saying it's your duty
Where would I be without Julie
Working 3 jobs, still made me banana berry smoothies
Going down to block buster, let us choose some movies
See Nerd Rope, like "Ma can we get two of these?"
Providing a blessed life
Even though you were stressed right
Up to here
Mad enough to scream
But sad enough to tear
Just like shady
But you wanna set it right for your babies
Life was crazy
No doubt about it
But you're amazing
So I shout about it
And all is forgiven
With your children
I needa see a million
Cause
I wanna provide for ya
I love you Mama, I'd jump out of the sky for ya
I wanna see you lighten up
So many demons, and you're still fighting 'em
Just gotta put yourself out there and try
I know that statement holds a lot of fear, prally make you wanna cry
But there are so many people up in the same boat
I'll help you float, it's like you gave me the name hope
Yeah, so

Dry your, eyes Mama
No need to, cry Mama
I promise, we'll be fine Mama
We'll be fine Mama
Dry your, eyes Mama
No need to cry Mama
I promise, we'll be fine Mama
We'll be fine Mama
