When numbers twist and tangle on the page,
And decimals feel like shackles in a cage,
Take heart, brave mind, and do not walk away—
The toughest sums have hidden words to say.

yeah, math is not a cold and heavy chain,
Designed to bring you weariness and pain;
math is real, and is within
every single living thing
it is beautiful, just like you
but lets be honest let’s be true
loving math is sometimes not so easy
but the best things in life are not so breezy
and mommy math is kinda cheesy
so we can smile and be kinda teasy
broccoli or mommy math?
what do you choose your way your path?

oh you chose mommy math?
this way brings us down an addition path
where a minus sign is not a burnt piece of toast
It simply tracks the things you value most;
Like dollars leaving wallets for a bike,
Or sweeping clean a concrete skateboard pipe

The decimal point is where the pieces blend,
Where whole green dollars meet the cents you spend;
From baking tins to petty change lockboxes,
Through shipping crates and flour delivery boxes.

yeah, math is not a cold and heavy chain,
Designed to bring you weariness and pain;
math is real, and is within
every single living thing
it is beautiful, just like you
but lets be honest let’s be true
loving math is sometimes not so easy
but the best things in life are not so breezy
and mommy math is kinda cheesy
so we can smile and be kinda teasy
broccoli or mommy math?
what do you choose your way your path?

oh i see you choose mommy math
so let’s go down this way this path
Look closely at the ledger and the line,
And see the tracing of a grand design;
Each balance sheet and vector that you trace
Is just a whisper of Creator’s grace.

He numbered every star that lights the dark,
And placed within your mind a brilliant spark;
So when the answers feel too hard to find,
Remember Who designed your soaring mind.

For math is not a cold and heavy chain,
Designed to bring you weariness and pain;
It is the rhythm where the planets spin,
The steady business balance held within.

Don’t lay your pencil down or lose your stride,
With every cash exchange, walk with steady pride;
For in the logic where the answers fit,
God speaks His love, and you are part of it.

yeah, math is not a cold and heavy chain,
Designed to bring you weariness and pain;
math is real, and is within
every single living thing
it is beautiful, just like you
but lets be honest let’s be true
loving math is sometimes not so easy
but the best things in life are not so breezy
so we will have a great attitude
