Watch You Be a Mother

You do it all, you always have Ten years in and two young kids You wear so many hats I see you patient, I see you kind But I see you in a new light How you love those kids of mine And you ask me, do I love you like I did at 24? And I just laugh because I don't, no, I love you more You're a giver, you're a lover, you're a friend You're a fighter fighting for this love to win So many roles that you cover and you play them like no other But I think that I love you the most When I watch you be a mother When I watch you be a mother Your white shirts have all got stains And whether hauling kids or healing wounds You spin so many plates And how you do it, I just don't know But there's a million ways your love and grace Make our house feel like home And you say that you don't look quite like you did at 24 But if I'm honest, right now, I'm attracted to you more You're a giver, you're a lover, you're a friend You're a fighter fighting for this love to win So many roles that you cover and you play them like no other But I think that I love you the most When I watch you be a mother When I see the way you cover them with prayer from your knees And I see the way you lift them up above your very needs And I see the sacrifices 'cause you love them like no other I can't take my eyes off of you When I watch you be a mother You're a giver, you're a lover, you're a friend You're a fighter fighting for this love to win So many roles that you cover and you play them like no other But I think that I love you the most When I watch you be a mother When I watch you be a mother You're a fighter fighting for this love to win You're a giver, you're a fighter
