Couplet 1

I don't know why God made
One-bedroom apartments out of state
I don't know why He made
Hometowns if it's somewhere I can't stay

Couplet 2

I don't know why He made growing up
But I guess that we're all gonna
I don't know a lot of things
But I know why God made mamas

Refrain

For the open arms to fall into
For the when you
Don't know what to do
For the phone call saying don't forget
I'm always in your corner
For the heart that makes
A house a home
For the knowing that you're not alone
For the darling don't you dare give up
Even when you wanna
That's why God made mamas

Couplet 3

For putting band-aids on a scraped up
Knee and wiping tears away
For picking up the pieces when
That dream don't go your way

Couplet 4

For always giving more than taking
Always knowing what you need
And showing you that fighting's
Always best done on your knees

Refrain

For the open arms to fall into
For the when you
Don't know what to do
For the phone call saying don't forget
I'm always in your corner
For the heart that makes
A house a home
For the knowing that you're not alone
For the darling don't you dare give up
Even when you wanna
That's why God made mamas

Couplet 5

I don't know why God made
Living life down here so hard to do
But I know why God made mamas
'Cause He knew I needed you

Refrain

For the open arms to fall into
For the when you
Don't know what to do
For the phone call saying don't forget
I'm always in your corner
For the heart that makes
A house a home
For the knowing that you're not alone
For the darling don't you dare give up
Even when you wanna
That's why God made mamas
