Mother.
Lyrics and Vocals: American country music duo ‘Sugarland’ (Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush).
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.
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.
END
