Mom Like You

The moment that you held me for the first time I didn't know the blessing it was that you were mine Now, I don't know what I'd do without a mom like you Then a few years later, you're driving me to school I knew you always prayed for me 'Cause the world can be so cruel I don't know what I'd do without a mom like you All the times I felt like quitting, you saw what I could be When I was all but done with dreaming, you still dreamed for me All the ways you choose to love me have led me to believe There's no way that I could be a man like me Without a mom like you Through all my teenage troubles It must've been so hard You had to let me make mistakes You knew would break my heart God knows I made it through 'Cause I had a mom like you When I said that I was ready To start a new life You helped me pack the boxes And pretended not to cry So many things I only had the strength to do 'Cause I had a mom like you All the times I felt like quitting, you saw what I could be When I was all but done with dreaming, you still dreamed for me All the ways you choose to love me have led me to believe There's no way that I could be a man like me Without a mom like you Without a mom like you Through every victory And every failure You always said you're proud of me I knew that you were proud to be My mom, and all along There was nothing I could ever do To lose the love of a mom like you A mom like you, oh All the times I felt like quitting, you saw what I could be When I was all but done with dreaming, you still dreamed for me All the ways you choose to love me have led me to believe There's no way that I could be a man like me Without a mom like you Without a mom like you Thank God I have a mom like you
