lirik lagu j knockz – soldier (dear mom)
intro:
my soldier
i’ll always remember when i was like four
we dropped my sisters off at school
and i was sitting in the car with you
and the wind started blowing really hard
and the trees were moving back and forth
and i asked you, i said
“what makes the wind blow and why are the trees moving?”
and you said
“son that’s god breathing down on the earth
to make it cooler outside.”
and i said, “god must have a big mouth then”
i’ll never forget that (yeah)
hook:
dear mom, this is for you, i love you to death (i love you)
i wouldn’t be who i am today if it wasn’t for god and all of your help
(that’s true) yeah, you held us down, with love not no wealth
it’s crazy that you did it all by yourself
reminiscing, now i’ve realized that you trusted god, no one else
(yeah) you’ve always protected me no matter what
yeah, you are my soldier (soldier)
you taught me the scriptures and that jesus loves me
mom, you’re my soldier (soldier)
you helped mold and shape me into who i am
i learned it was part of god’s plan
mom, you impacted my life more than you’ll understand
yeah, you are my soldier
verse 1:
yeah, mom, you’re a soldier
i really don’t care what these people done told ya (nah)
you made an impact in my life
now looking back, i see you’re strong like a boulder
(yeah) i’m writing this letter to thank you
for everything that you have done
god appointed you the one to take care of me
now i see, you went above and beyond (yeah)
i’ve been sitting back reminiscing
and scrolling through pictures of memories
i’ll always remember you reading me scriptures
that helped me defeat all my enemies (for real)
you showed me i had all that sin in me
told me what jesus did, now he’s a friend of me
you taught me through all of the struggles
to always trust god and put him as the center piece
(yeah) i’ll never forget it
you’re really the strongest woman that i know
beat all the odds that was stacked up against you
with n0body’s help, you raised us on your own (yeah)
no diploma or a college degree
but you worked hard and provided our needs
never really understood it
but now i see, your obedience to god was key (that’s real)
(yeah) mama you taught me so much
like all of these trials are just lessons (lessons)
you taught me the message of jesus
now i am forever indebted (that’s real)
when everyone left, you didn’t
you kept up the fight and you never gave up
no matter the struggle, you always stayed tough
mom, i just want you to know, i’m blessed to be your son
verse 2:
yeah, mom, you’re my hero
no words can begin to express what i mean
you did what a lot of people wouldn’t do
kept fighting and promised that you’d never leave
(yeah) i remember all the times we struggled
but you kept your faith and you always believed
your faith help me grow as a man
see back in 2005 at the altar, i fell to my knees (yeah)
and i’ll never forget running all the way from the back pew
i just want to thank you
’cause i would have never let the spirit in, if it wasn’t for you
(for real) see that moment holds a special place in my heart
nothing can rip that apart
the spirit came in and he washed away all of my sin
and gave me a new start
so mama, thank you for the love that you showed
even in the midst of struggle, you kept your eyes up to heaven
and you always told us that in christ, there is hope (that’s true)
i’ll hold onto that for the rest of my life
then up in heaven, i’ll be standing next to you, worshiping christ
just the thought of that brings tears to my eyes (yeah)
mama, don’t think you never did enough, i promise you did
(yeah) you did what you could as a single mother
working full time and raising three kids (for real)
for that i respect and i wanna dedicate this one to you (yeah)
thank you for everything, you are my soldier
don’t ever forget it, yeah mama, i love you (yeah)
outro:
mom, i just want you to know that you really are my soldier
see, you’ve made the biggest impact in my life, other than jesus
you’ve obeyed god and guided me to follow his footsteps
so you played a major part in helping save my life, i love you
