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 mind

And you ask me

Do I love you like I did at twenty-four?

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

Fightin' for this love to win

So many roles that you cover

And you play 'em 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 haulin' kids or healin' 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 twenty-four

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

Fightin' for this love to win

So many roles that you cover

And you play 'em 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

Fightin' for this love to win

So many roles that you cover

And you play 'em like no other

But I think that I love you the most

When I watch you be a mother (You're a giver)

When I watch you be a mother (You're a lover and a friend)

(You're a fighter)

(Fightin' for this love to win)

(You're a giver)

(You're a fighter)
