**Genre:** Indie Pop

**Mood:** Nostalgic, grateful, airy

**(Verse 1)**

Coffee’s cold on the kitchen wood

I’m far from home, where the silence stood

You used to braid the chaos in my hair

And tell me life is only as heavy as I care

I found your note in an old coat pocket

A tiny piece of light in a silver locket

You didn’t give me maps or golden keys

Just the strength to stand when I’m on my knees.

**(Pre-Chorus)**

And the world gets loud, and the city’s grey

But I hear your laugh from a mile away

It’s the rhythm in my chest, it’s the way I breathe

The only magic I still believe.

**(Chorus)**

Oh, Mama, you’re the North Star in my sky

The steady wing when I’m learning how to fly

You’re the softest place for my heart to land
