Cover art for Amazing lyrics by Janelle Monáe

Without a doubt, this song is about a mother's love for her child, MY child. I've listened to this song countless times and I cry every single time thinking of my son who just went to college.

In labor:

The morning cold and raining Dark before the dawn could come How long in twilight waiting Longing for the rising sun Oh, Oh

Birth of child:

You came like crashing thunder Breaking through these walls of stone You came with wide eyed wonder Into all this great unknown Oh, Oh

Holding my son after his birth:

Hush now don’t you be afraid I promise you I’ll always stay I’ll never be that far away I’m right here with you

How I ALWAYS feel about him. I never thought I'd love like this:

You’re so amazing You shine like the stars You’re so amazing The beauty you are You came blazing Right into my heart You’re so amazing You are, You are

Refrain that I always say in my head when I think about him or just look at him:

You came from Heaven shining Breath of God still fresh on you The beating heart inside me Crumbled at this one so new Oh, Oh No matter where, how far you wander For a thousand years or longer I will always be there for you Right here with you

See comment above:

You’re so amazing You shine like the stars You’re so amazing The beauty you are You came blazing Right into my heart You’re so amazing You are

My hopes for him, always:

I hope your tears are few and fast I hope your dreams come true at last I hope you find love that goes on and on and on and on and on I hope you wish on every star I hope you never fall too far I hope this world can see how wonderful you are

You’re so amazing You shine like the stars You’re so amazing The beauty you are You came blazing Right into my heart You’re so amazing

You’re so amazing You shine like the stars You’re so amazing The beauty you are You came blazing Right into my heart You’re so amazing You are, you are

My beautiful son, I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!
