My Safe Place

Verse 1 Mum, we sailed away with barely room to move, A tiny cabin, but we found our groove. Crafts across the table, laughter down the hall, Shows beneath the lights, we wanted to see it all. From the decks to every island shore, Every day with you became a memory worth more. Pre-Chorus Salt over your left shoulder, knock on wood just right, An itchy palm means fortune, your faith a guiding light. When I lost something, Saint Christopher heard you pray— Then you'd tell me, “Be brave, love,” and lead me on my way. Chorus Mum, you've always been my safe place, The steady love that time could never change. When life was hard, you taught me how to pray, To trust that hope would find another way. Whatever tomorrow brings, whatever we go through, You have always been there for me— And I will be there for you. Verse 2 When the world felt heavy and I couldn't see the road, You helped me find the faith to carry every load. You said, “Give it time, love, trust that it will mend,” And somehow in your kindness, light came through again. You never needed answers written in the stars, You simply held me close and loved me as I am. Pre-Chorus All the little sayings passed down through the years, Became a kind of compass when the path was never clear. In every prayer and promise, in everything you do, I learned the meaning of a love that carries through. Chorus Mum, you've always been my safe place, The steady love that time could never change. When life was hard, you taught me how to pray, To trust that hope would find another way. Whatever tomorrow brings, whatever we go through, You have always been there for me— And I will be there for you. Bridge And when the seasons turn and twilight years draw near, I'll walk beside you gently, so you never need to fear. I'll give you all the comfort that you gave so freely too, A home, a hand, a heart that always follows through. No worry left to carry, no road you'll face alone— The love you built around me will become your shelter home. Final Chorus Mum, you've always been my safe place, My strength, my faith, my warm familiar grace. Today we celebrate the love you give away, And all the joy you've planted every day. Whatever life may ask of us, this promise will stay true: You have always been there for me— And I will be there for you. Outro Happy birthday, Mum, with all my love to you, My safe place forever— And I'll be yours too.
