They'll Say Your Name

This is for all the moms who work hard and feel like their children will never understand your sacrifice. They will. I promise. I used to be one of those kids. Lyrics: [Verse One] Night falls on a window that don’t feel like home City lights flicker, but you’re still alone Sunflower tucked in your hair like a flame Smiling on camera… but hiding the pain You trace every word when they call your name Hold back the tears so your voice doesn’t break Sending your love in the small things you bring Little pasalubong… but for them it’s everything [Pre-Chorus] You’re counting the miles like they measure your worth Like love has a limit stretched over the earth But every doubt you’re holding inside… Is where this truth is about to rise [Chorus] They don’t see the nights you cried alone I know that silence… I’ve lived that home I was that child who couldn’t see What all that distance did to me I KNOW… THEY’LL KNOW SOMEDAY Just like I did, it finds its way Everything you gave will always stay I PROMISE YOU… THEY’LL SAY YOUR NAME We say your name- with open arms Not just in tears, but who you are You’re not losing them to time or space I KNOW… THEY’LL KNOW… THEY’LL SAY YOUR NAME [Verse Two] Morning comes, but you’re already awake Counting the hours your heart has to break Same train, same streets, same borrowed sky Carrying love that you can’t hold tight You laugh on the phone so they won’t hear you bend Save every tear for the night again Holding their world in the things that you bring Folding your love into everything [Verse Three] I’m where they’ll stand… just years away I know it’s hard, but hear me say My mom worked hard, all day and night No time for smiles… or holding tight I was them… not long ago It hurts right now, don’t worry though But I grew up… and they will too To see the love that came from you… So when the quiet cuts too deep And you feel no one can give what you need Hear me now… from where they’ll be THEY LOVE YOU… (MORE THAN ANYTHING) THANK YOU [Chorus] They don’t see the nights you cried alone I know that silence… I’ve lived that home I was that child who couldn’t see What all that distance did to me I KNOW… THEY’LL KNOW SOMEDAY Just like I did, it finds its way Everything you gave will always stay I PROMISE YOU… THEY’LL SAY YOUR NAME We say your name- with open arms Not just in tears, but who you are You’re not losing them to time or space I KNOW… THEY’LL KNOW… THEY’LL SAY YOUR NAME @soniahkamiga1788 Here you go. Just for you.
