[Verse 1] I was just a young boy when Mama went away, Too young to understand why she couldn't stay. I searched for her voice, I called out her name, But the house felt different, nothing felt the same. I saw other children holding their mothers' hands, While I was learning how to walk alone and stand. I had so many questions, but nobody knew, How much I missed my mother, how much I needed you. [Pre-Chorus ] Mama, I wish you could see me now, See the man your little boy has become somehow. Through every tear, through every storm, I kept your love inside my heart and carried on. [Chorus ] Alhamdulilahi for the man I've become, Even though I grew up without my mum. She left me too early, but her love stayed strong, It became my strength when the road got long. I cried in the dark, but I learned to stand, I walked through life with faith in my hands. Alhamdulilahi for the man I've become, Mama, your little boy has finally grown. [Verse 2] There were birthdays when I wished you were there, Graduation days when I searched for your face somewhere. I wanted to hear you say, "My son, I'm proud," I wanted your voice to rise above the crowd. Life wasn't easy, I had to find my way, I learned to be strong at an early age. Sometimes I broke down when nobody could see, But I remembered the woman you wanted me to be. [Bridge ] Mama, I hope you're smiling wherever you are, Your memory still shines like the brightest star. I carry your name, I carry your heart, Though death took you early, it couldn't tear us apart. [Chorus ] Alhamdulilahi for the man I've become, For every battle I fought when I had no one. For every tear that taught me how to be strong, For every lonely night that made me carry on. I may have lost my mother when I was young, But her love is the song that stays on my tongue. Alhamdulilahi for the man I've become, Mama, I made it… your little boy has grown. [Outro ] If heaven has a window, Mama, look down tonight, Your son is still walking, still trying to do right. I miss you every day, but I won't come undone… Alhamdulilahi for the man I've become.
