Mother

She'll take you in, feed your friends

Her open arms are welcoming

She'll rub your back all night when you're crying

She'll listen to you tell your story

Hold your fear and all your worries

Help you find the truth when they're all lying

Even when it's hopeless, she keeps trying

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 nothing 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 was 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 nothing 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 crying 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

But 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 nothing she won't do

As long as she's alive, you're not alone, you've got each other

And the secrets in your heart she's always known

She's a beacon, a harbour

A lighthouse, her armour

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
