Mama's Heart

from Go Forward by Dwayne Cook

/

about

When my mom passed away it took three years to come up with a song that truly reflected her life and legacy. She always struggled with her weight. Someone at her funeral told me she had to be big to carry the size of her heart. That stuck with me and is the basis for the song. She had the biggest heart of anyone I’ve ever known. Her heart for people is what she’s is best remembered by!

lyrics

Verse 1
Mama use to lay awake wondering how she’d keep us feed
She worked each day and she’d come home and tuck me into bed
I never wanted for anything, she always made a way
How I wish that she was here to talk to me today

Chorus
Mama. She had the biggest heart
Mama. Even when I tore it all apart
Mama. She’d do anything you asked her to
Mama. I sure miss you

Verse 2
When I was you I made her life a misery it’s true
I was into everything, even things she never knew
But one day God got a hold of me, showed me a better way
Mama sure was proud of me as she bowed her head to pray

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3
When mama was laid to rest people came from miles away
I heard so many stories of what a difference she had made
You always knew just where she stood. She let you know she cared
Mama’s heart’s in heaven, I can’t wait till I get there

Repeat Chorus

I was injured in a hunting accident in 1986. I have been in a wheelchair since.
