Mama Raised a Mountain

Intro

Verse 1 Mama raised me on stew and silence Two jobs, one coat, no spare Said boy, the world won't owe you Said boy, the world won't care Daddy left at the long-haul gate Mama stayed, mama prayed, mama stood Hands that broke from washing other people's Eyes that softened only on the wood

Pre-Chorus Don't you cry, don't you fold Don't you sell what you can't be told

Chorus Mama raised a mountain Out of broken ground and busted plate Wind don't move what she made Even God don't try to bend it

Verse 2 Brothers crumbled, one to needles One to a bottle, one to a wife I went looking for what she had In a room full of iron and life Bench press taught me what she said Quiet, steady, every day Mountains don't get built on a Sunday Mountains don't get built on praise

Pre-Chorus Don't you cry, don't you fold Don't you sell what you can't be told

Chorus Mama raised a mountain Out of broken ground and busted plate Wind don't move what she made Even God don't try to bend it

Bridge Mama died on a Wednesday Funeral was on a Friday Sunday I came back to the rack And I lifted what she'd carried Mama raised a mountain Out of broken ground and busted plate Wind don't move what she made Even God don't try to bend it Even God don't try to bend it
