Mother

You never took some time

You never needed praise

You would work your hands to the bone

You would work your hands to the bone

You always made the time

You got me on my way

You would work your hands to the bone

Just to turn our house to a home

A different kind of hero

With a different kind of strength

Another word for savior

And another word for saint

Mother, a fighter and a lover

Always there by my side no matter what I am going through

And there's no other, the place where we take cover

And I know everybody's saying they got the best one

But that ain't true

'Cause I do

I know I made it tough

I know I caused you pain

You loved me like the angel, I'm not

But you still held me down like a rock

There's nothing I could do

There's nothing I could say

The words can float away through the years

So I wrote them down for you here

The person that I turn to

And the person that I trust

The voice inside my head when I think I'm giving up

Mother, a fighter and a lover

Everything I'll ever have and all I am is because of you

And there's no other, the place where we take cover

And I know everybody's saying they got the best one

But that ain't true

'Cause I do

No matter where I go

Or where I'm at in life

You'll always be my

Mother, fighter and a lover

Always there by my side no matter what I am going through

And there's no other, the place where we take cover

And I know everybody's saying they got the best one

But that ain't true

I know everybody's saying they got the best one

But that ain't true

'Cause I do

'Cause I do
