TWO MORE WEEKS

TWO MORE WEEKS Mother to Son — 180 BPM [Intro] Yeah… Lake Tahoe roads, tears in my eyes, Mama making that drive, just to stand by your side. They said, “Two more weeks,” so I took a deep breath… Then another hearing, another date, another test. But hear me, son— No courtroom can measure a mother's love. [Verse 1] Four hours on the road with your name on my mind, Looking through the windshield, praying the whole drive. Tahoe in the distance, but my heart felt heavy, Trying to stay strong when I wasn't ready. Walked through those doors just to see your face, Trying to give you hope in a difficult place. I could see the weight that you're carrying inside, And I wanted to take it, Mom's supposed to provide. They continued the hearing, gave us two more weeks, Then another date ahead, still searching for some peace. Everybody's talking, but Mama hears your heart, And I'll keep showing up, no matter how hard. I can't promise tomorrow, I can't control the case, But I can promise I'll be there when you look up and see my face. [Chorus] Two more weeks, son, we're taking it day by day, One more sunrise, one more prayer, one more mile along the way. If the road gets dark, I'll be the light you see, If you feel alone, remember—you still got me. I love you more than words could ever say, More than yesterday and more than any court date. Whatever comes, we'll face it piece by piece, Mama's still standing— Two more weeks. [Verse 2] I know you might be scared, I know you might be lost, I know you're wondering how much this is gonna cost. But you're still my baby, no matter how old, And I'd walk through fire just to bring you home. I remember your smile, remember little you, The dreams you had and all the things you wanted to do. There's more to your story than this moment right now, And Mama's gonna remind you when you don't know how. I don't know what tomorrow's gonna bring, But I know love doesn't disappear when the courtroom rings. I'll bring my letters, my prayers, my heart in my hands, I'll keep believing you can rebuild and still stand. Not because I know how this story ends, But because you're my son before anything else. [Chorus] Two more weeks, son, we're taking it day by day, One more sunrise, one more prayer, one more mile along the way. If the road gets dark, I'll be the light you see, If you feel alone, remember—you still got me. I love you more than words could ever say, More than yesterday and more than any court date. Whatever comes, we'll face it piece by piece, Mama's still standing— Two more weeks. [Bridge — slower, emotional] Son… Look at me. You're not forgotten. You're not alone. This moment is not your whole life. And whatever happens next, Mama is still your mama. [Verse 3 — beat comes back hard] So I'm packing that car when the next date comes around, Leaving Santa Cruz, heading back to Tahoe town. Same mountains, same road, but a different state of mind, 'Cause every mile I drive says, “Baby, you're still mine.” I may cry in the car, but I'll wipe those tears, 'Cause you've been my reason through the hardest years. I don't have all the answers, I don't pretend I do, But I'll keep fighting for hope, and I'll keep showing up for you. Two weeks became two more, now we're waiting again, But every waiting room can't erase where we've been. You're my son, my heart, my reason to believe, And I'll keep telling you: you still have dreams to achieve. [Final Chorus] Two more weeks, son, we're taking it day by day, One more sunrise, one more prayer, one more mile along the way. When you can't see tomorrow, borrow some hope from me, I'll carry it for both of us until you can breathe. I love you more than words could ever say, And no distance can take that love away. Whatever comes, we'll face it piece by piece, Mama's still standing… Two more weeks. [Outro] Tahoe roads… Mama's coming back. Keep your head up, Johnathan. One day at a time. One breath at a time. One prayer at a time. I love you, son. Always.
