Mother

She'll take you in

Feed your friends

Her open arms are welcomin'

She'll rub your back all night

When you're cryin'

She'll listen to you tell your story

Hold your fear and all your worries

Help you find the truth when they're all lyin'

Even when it's hopeless, she keeps tryin'

She's your mother, you love her

There won't be another

Place like her again

You call home

She stands here to help you

There's nothin' she won't do

As long as she's alive, you're not alone

You've got each other

That's your mother

She fixes all the broken things

When you're in love, she's got a ring

To give to you, she hopes you'll give away

She don't care who you give it to

Where they're from, if they pray like you

As long as they are good to you

That's enough

First thing she taught you is love is love

She's your mother, you love her

There won't be another

Place like her again

That you call home

She stands here to help you

There's nothin' she won't do

As long as she's alive, you're not alone

You've got each other

That's your mother

When you fail her

When you're afraid

And cryin' in the careless mess you've made

She'll make you clean it up yourself

And offer you a little help

And dry your weary eyes when you let her

She'll look at you and know you can do better

She's your mother, you love her

There won't be another

Place like her again

That you call home

She stands here to help you

There's nothin' she won't do

As long as she's alive, you're not alone

And secrets in your heart, she's always known

She's a beacon, a harbor

A lighthouse, your armor

A promise and a blanket when it's cold

You'll understand it more when you get older

You've got each other

That's your mother

You've got each other

That's your mother
