Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Listen
And gather 'round me, children
Children of a mother
Whose life lifted up love
[Verse 2]
Listen
And gather 'round me, children
Children of a mother
Whose life lifted up peace
[Verse 3]
A mother who taught
All of her children
To love and be loved by each other
Hold your sister's hand
As she walks across life
And look out for each other
Carry your brother's load
[Verse 4]
Don't you ever
Ever betray him
Go to the store
Buy grand-mamma
A pound of love
[Verse 5]
Listen
Gather 'round me, children
Children of a mother
Whose life lifted up joy
[Verse 6]
Listen
Gather 'round me, children
Children of a mother
Whose life lifted up hope
[Verse 7]
A mother who taught
All of her children
To love and be loved by each other
Hold your baby sister's hand
As she walks across life
And look out for each other
Carry your brother's load
[Verse 8]
Don't you ever
Ever betray him
Go to the store
Buy grand-mamma
A pound of love
[Verse 9]
I believe it's on sale
Listen
Gather 'round me, children
Children of a mother
Whose life lifted up love
[Verse 10]
Listen
Gather around me, children
Children of a mother
Whose life lifted up hope
[Verse 11]
A mother who taught
All of her children
To love and be loved by each other
Hold your baby sister's hand
As she walks across life
And look out for each other
Carry your brother's load
[Verse 12]
Don't you ever
Ever betray him
Go to the store
Buy grand-mamma
A pound of love
And oh
[Verse 13]
Listen
Gather 'round me, children
Children of a mother
Whose life lifted up joy
[Verse 14]
Listen
Gather 'round me, children
Children of a mother
Whose life lifted up peace
[Verse 15]
A mother who taught
All of her children
To love and be loved by each other
Hold your sister's hand
As she walks across life
And look out for each other
Carry your brother's load
[Verse 16]
Don't you ever
Ever betray him
Go to the store
Buy grand-mamma
A pound of love
[Verse 17]
Listen, listen
Listen, listen
Listen, listen
Listen, listen
[Verse 18]
Listen, listen
Listen, listen
Listen, listen
Listen, listen
[Verse 19]
Listen, listen
Listen, listen
Listen, listen
[Verse 20]
Whoa, no
Oh
[Verse 21]
Children of a mother
Whose life
Lifted up
Me
