Mother's Song

Listen and gather 'round me children

Children of a mother whose life lifted up love

Listen, and gather 'round me children

Children of a mother whose life lifted up peace

A mother who taught all of her children

To love and be loved by each other

Hold your sister's hand as she walks across life

And look out for each other

Carry your brother's load

Don't you ever, ever betray him

Go to the store, buy grandmamma a pound of love

Listen, gather 'round me children

Children of a mother whose life lifted up joy

Listen, gather 'round me children

Children of a mother whose life lifted up hope

A mother who taught all of her children to love

And be loved by each other

Hold your baby sister's hand as she walks across life

And look out for each other

Carry your brother's load

Don't you ever, ever betray him

Go to the store, buy grandmamma a pound of love

I believe it's on sale

Listen, gather around me children

Children of a mother whose life lifted up love

Listen, gather around me children

Children of a mother whose life lifted up hope

A mother who taught all of her children to love

And be loved by each other

Hold your baby sister's hand as she walks across life

And look out for each other

Carry your brother's load

Don't you ever, ever betray him

Go to the store, buy grandmamma a pound of love

Listen, gather 'round me children

Children of a mother whose life lifted up joy

Listen, gather 'round me children

Children of a mother whose life lifted up peace

A mother who taught all of her children to love

And be loved by each other

Hold your sister's hand as she walks across life

And look out for each other

Carry your brother's load

Don't you ever, ever betray him

Go to the store, buy grandmamma a pound of love

Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen

Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen

Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen

Listen, listen, listen, listen, oh, oh, oh, oh

Children of a mother whose life lifted up me
