When God Made You My Mother

I bet you could've used a minute Just a little time alone But you let me be your little shadow Followin' wherever you would go Then I got a little older And you gave me space to grow I don't ever seem to tell you enough, but I want you to know When God made you my mother He knew who I'd need When he picked you from the others He could already see That you would be my hero And everything I wanna be When God made you my mother He was bein' good to me I come to you with all my secrets And you never, ever judge And when I'm fallin' in my weakness You give me strength to stand back up No amount of miles could separate us No place where I don't feel your love You say I'm the gift that Heaven gave ya But mama, I'm the lucky one 'Cause when God made you my mother He knew who I'd need When he picked you from the others He could already see That you would be my hero And everything I wanna be When God made you my mother He was bein' good to me If I'm ever a mother, I wanna be like you If he picks me from the others I'm gonna try to fill your shoes 'Cause mama, you're my hero And everything I wanna be When God made you my mother He was bein' good to me Yeah, he was bein' good to me
