Yeah
This
one
is
for
the
foundation
For
the
ones
who
held
me
up
when
the
world
was
heavy
Mama
Maria
Listen
I
look
back
at
the
path
where
I
started
from
You
carried
the
weight
until
the
morning
sun
Through
the
bitter
cold
and
the
pouring
rain
You
were
the
medicine
to
heal
the
pain
You
sacrificed
so
much
just
to
see
me
grow
Kept
me
sheltered
from
the
winds
that
blow
I
search
for
words
but
they
just
don't
fit
How
can
I
repay
a
love
that's
infinite?
Mama
Maria,
you
are
my
guiding
light
You
held
me
steady
through
the
darkest
night
Through
the
ups
and
downs,
the
sun
and
the
shade
You
never
gave
up
on
the
plans
you
made
Oh
Mama,
there’
s
no
one
like
you
in
this
place
I
see
the
history
written
on
your
face
Mama
Maria,
you’
re
my
rock
and
my
crown
You
never
let
my
spirit
touch
the
ground
I
remember
the
hunger
and
the
empty
plate
But
you
worked
hard
to
change
my
fate
With
every
prayer
and
every
silent
tear
You
made
sure
that
I
never
lived
in
fear
You
fought
for
me
when
I
was
standing
still
With
such
patience
and
a
iron
will
You
never
folded,
you
never
turned
away
You
gave
me
strength
to
face
another
day
Mama
Maria,
you
are
my
guiding
light
You
held
me
steady
through
the
darkest
night
Through
the
ups
and
downs,
the
sun
and
the
shade
You
never
gave
up
on
the
plans
you
made
Oh
Mama,
there’
s
no
one
like
you
in
this
place
I
see
the
history
written
on
your
face
Mama
Maria,
you’
re
my
rock
and
my
crown
You
never
let
my
spirit
touch
the
ground
And
I
can’
t
forget
the
ones
who
stood
by
your
side
Uncle
Petro,
with
nothing
to
hide
Your
guidance
and
your
wisdom
kept
us
strong
Teaching
me
exactly
where
I
belong
To
the
village,
to
the
roots,
to
the
love
we
share
It’
s
a
legacy
of
faith
that
you
both
prepare
I’
m
standing
tall
because
you
showed
me
how
I’
m
living
the
dream
we
spoke
of
until
now
So
take
these
flowers
while
you’
re
standing
here
I’
ll
hold
you
close
and
draw
you
near
My
gratitude
is
deeper
than
the
deepest
sea
For
all
the
version
of
the
man
I’
m
meant
to
be
You
raised
me
up
from
the
dirt
to
the
sky
Watched
me
spread
my
wings
and
learn
to
fly
I
promise
to
honor
every
step
you
took
Like
a
story
written
in
a
sacred
book
Mama
Maria,
you
are
my
guiding
light
You
held
me
steady
through
the
darkest
night
Through
the
ups
and
downs,
the
sun
and
the
shade
You
never
gave
up
on
the
plans
you
made
Oh
Mama,
there’
s
no
one
like
you
in
this
place
I
see
the
history
written
on
your
face
Mama
Maria,
you’
re
my
rock
and
my
crown
You
never
let
my
spirit
touch
the
ground
Yeah,
Mama
Maria
Uncle
Petro,
thank
you
For
the
life,
for
the
struggle,
for
the
love
I
appreciate
you
both
It’
s
a
lifetime
of
thanks
We
keeping
it
moving
Always,
Mama
Maria. (
