Can't nothin' hold me back
When I set my mind to something
I ain't braggin', it's just a fact
That's the way it is for me

It's been that way all my life
Ever since I can remember
I don't question, I don't ask why
I don't even have to wonder

How do I know
That it's so?
'Cause my mom says I can
yeah, my mom says I can!

She's my solid ground and my tender shoulder
A shining light when it's hard to see
I'm still her baby even though I'm older
Ain't that how it's supposed to be?

She gave me the moon and showed me the stars
Cheered me on for all my dreams
It might take a while and it might be hard
But thanks to her, I believe in me

How do I know
That it's so?
'Cause my mom says I can
She's my biggest fan

BRIDGE: Don't get me wrong
I've had disappointments
Tears and fears and heartache
But I reach down deep inside to find
The precious gift she gave to me

How do I know
That it's so?
'Cause my mom says I can
Yeah my mom says I can
My mom says I can
