Queen of Hearts (Mama's Anthem)

Lyrics: Birr/Tesfa Seyum Music: Birr/Tesfa Seyum [Verse 1] Yo, Mama, let me paint this rhyme in hues of you, The late-night shifts, the hugs that pulled me through, Packed my lunch with love, tucked dreams beneath my pillow, Your voice, a lullaby, soft as the willow. You turned the cracks in life into a stepping stone, Built a palace out of grit when we had none to own, Your hands—rough from work, but gentle as the dawn, Wiped my tears and wrote the script for me to carry on. [Chorus] Oh, Mama, you’re the glue in every broken part, A symphony of strength, the rhythm in my heart. Through every storm, you’re the calm, the steady light, Queen of Hearts, you turn the darkest days bright. (Yeah, yeah) Queen of Hearts, you turn the darkest days bright. [Verse 2] Remember when I stumbled, scraped knees, doubting me? You said, “Stand tall, the world’s yours—just wait and see.” Sacrificed your sleep to stitch my future tight, Your love’s a lighthouse guiding ships through night. You wore secondhand, but dressed me in your pride, Taught me roots grow deep when storms collide. Now every step I take, I hear your voice inside, “Walk with grace, but baby, never hide your light.” [Chorus] Oh, Mama, you’re the glue in every broken part, A symphony of strength, the rhythm in my heart. Through every storm, you’re the calm, the steady light, Queen of Hearts, you turn the darkest days bright. (Yeah, yeah) Queen of Hearts, you turn the darkest days bright. [Bridge] Time don’t freeze, but your love’s forever young, In every wrinkle, there’s a war you fought and won. You’re my shelter, my compass, my first sunrise, A love so pure it bleeds through the grayest skies. (Yeah, yeah) Yeah, yeah… [Outro] So here’s your anthem, Mama, wrapped in every bar, You’re the unsung hero, my eternal star. When the beat fades out, your melody remains— The world spins ‘round, but you’re where my heart’s engraved.
