mother

Sugarland

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
