Queen of the day

Letra

Mama, this your moment, let the whole room shine, You carried love on your shoulders, now tonight it’s your time. (mmm-hmm) Every smile that you gave us, every tear that you dried, (yeah…) We celebrate your heartbeat, you the truth in our lives. (ohh yeah) It’s your birthday, Betty Mae, Let the candles light the way. (light it up now) You deserve every song we play, Mama, this your birthday, ayy. (come on now) From the struggle to the sunshine, you made everything alright, (you did…) So tonight we lift you higher, let your spirit touch the sky. (touch the sky…) You taught us how to stand strong, how to love and how to fight, (mmm…) And every step you walked before us turned our wrongs into right. (yes it did) Mama, you the heartbeat, steady through the storm, (steady now…) You kept the family grounded, kept our spirits warm. (warm like that…) Now we celebrate your journey, every chapter, every mile, (every mile…) Tonight we honor your courage, tonight we honor your smile. (your smile, Mama…) It’s your birthday, Betty Mae, Let the candles light the way. (light the way…) You deserve every song we play, Mama, this your birthday, ayy. (ayy… ayy…) So dance in your glory, let the music testify, (testify…) You the reason we’re standing, you the reason we rise. (we rise…) And if joy had a face, it would look just like you, (just like you…) Happy birthday, Mama — everything you touch comes through. (everything…) Aunt Bertha in the building, showing love so true, (love so true…) Dave smiling in the corner, celebrating you too. (yeah he is…) But tonight is your moment, Mama, your light leads the way, (lead the way…) Every heart in this room beats for you, Betty Mae. (beats for you…) Lift your hands, let the love surround, (lift ‘em…) Every blessing you planted still grows in us now. (still grows…) You gave strength, you gave hope, you gave all you had inside, (all you had…) And tonight we give it back with our hearts open wide. (wide open…) It’s your birthday, Betty Mae, Let the candles light the way. (light it up…) You deserve every song we play, Mama, this your birthday, ayy. (ayy…) So dance in your glory, let the music testify, (testify…) You the reason we’re standing, you the reason we rise. (we rise…) And if joy had a face, it would look just like you, (just like you…) Happy birthday, Mama — everything you touch comes through. (comes through…) We honor your love, we honor your name, (your name…) We honor your journey, every joy, every pain. (every pain…) You carried the world and still taught us to pray, (taught us…) Mama, you the miracle guiding our way. (guiding our way…) It’s your birthday, Betty Mae, Let the candles light the way. (light the way…) You deserve every song we play, Mama, this your birthday, ayy. (ayy…) So dance in your glory, let the music testify, (testify…) You the reason we’re standing, you the reason we rise. (we rise…) And if joy had a face, it would look just like you, (just like you…) Happy birthday, Mama — everything you touch comes through. (everything…) From your only son, Alvin Jr. (mmm-hmm… yeah…)
