My Mum

I was born One of four Older brothers Little sister And me I remember Māmā worked everyday She left our Father And his heavy uncaring hands Māmā made sure we never went without I can't complain She battled to buy our first home Around the time I started school I won't forget that day She did all she could To make it good Then Māmā said This is the only life you have So use it well Be kind to those you meet You don't know what they maybe going through Be yourself Those that matter don't mind Dream big don't forget who you are You're my super star My Mum Life goes on We lost some good ones along the way She would hold it together With a million and one things on her mind And I wanna make damn sure I can look after her The way she did for me This is the only life you have So use it well Be kind to those you meet You don't know what they maybe going through Be yourself Those that matter don't mind Dream big don't forget who you are You're my superstar Cause she loved us in the morning And she kissed us good night And in the spring birds would sing And in the winter she'd hold us tight My Mum
