Mother

She'll take you in, feed your friends Her open arms are welcoming She'll rub your back all night when you're crying She'll listen to you tell your story Hold your fear and all your worries Help you find the truth when they're all lying Even when it's hopeless, she keeps trying She's your mother, you love her There won't be another place like her again you call home She stands here to help you, there's nothing she won't do As long as she's alive, you're not alone, you've got each other That's your mother She fixes all the broken things When you're in love, she's got a ring To give to you, she hopes you'll give away She don't care who you give it to Where they're from, if they pray like you As long as they are good to you, that's enough First thing she taught you was love is love She's your mother, you love her There won't be another place like her again that you call home She stands here to help you, there's nothing she won't do As long as she's alive, you're not alone, you've got each other That's your mother When you fail her, when you're afraid And crying in the careless mess you've made She'll make you clean it up yourself and offer you a little help And dry your weary eyes when you let her But she'll look at you and know you can do better She's your mother, you love her There won't be another place like her again that you call home She stands here to help you, there's nothing she won't do As long as she's alive, you're not alone And the secrets in your heart she's always known She's a beacon, a harbor A lighthouse, her armor A promise and a blanket when it's colder You'll understand it more when you get older You've got each other That's your mother You've got each other That's your mother
