She’s the Reason

(Verse 1)

She worked the night shift all alone

Washed dishes just to build my home

Hands were cracked, her back was sore

But she still smiled and gave me more

(Verse 2)

She packed my lunch, skipped her own

Told me,"Someday you'll be grown"

She wore the same old coat each year

So I could dream without the fear

(Chorus)

She’s the reason I believed

The reason I could breathe

She held the world upon her back

While hiding every need

She’s the reason I survived

The reason I still try

And every time I fall

I hear her call

"You’ll rise."

(Verse 3)

I got the letter, white and bold

Said I’d become the dream we told

I held her hands, said “We made it”

She cried and said, “No, you did it.”

(Bridge)

Now I wear a coat and tie

But her voice still gets me by

She gave her years without regret

She’s the best person I’ve met

(Final Chorus)

She’s the reason I believed

The reason I could breathe

She held the world upon her back

While hiding every need

She’s the reason I survived

The reason I still try

And even when she's gone

She’ll still be

My why
