even if your back was turned

My mother told me once, she said
You were raised by the water's edge
I know you heard every word I said
Even if your back was turned

Learned a lot about growin' up
And if you get yourself too stuck
We were there to pick you up
Up from where you lay

(OOh, ooh, ooh)

Found out what hardwork was and you
Learnin when not to budge
There's only one with the right to judge
So mind your own way

Took a loss with a smile on your face
Even shed a few tears in your day
You know we always try to show you grace
Till the day you moved away

(OOh, ooh, ooh)

So don't let this lessons learned
Passed by and leave you burned
I told you once and I'll tell you again
Loss your first and you're all this flame

My mother told me once, she said
You were raised by the water's edge
I know you heard every word I said
Even if your back was turned
