Mother’s Song

May 10, 2025 In

On the day that I was born
On the day I’m with you now
Through these times that seem forlorn
Standing on ancestral grounds

You were there when I first spoke
You were there when I first stood
You were there to give me hope
You are there in all that’s good

If I were to save the world
Who on earth would save me
If not for you, who am I
If not for you what would life mean

You’re the breath inside the song
You’re the note that lends an ear
You’re the prayer that gives me calm
You free this heart from fear

Now here I am the wheel has turned
Holding you in my arms
Now here I am the candle burns
Listening to you gently call

Whenever I’m in need of friend
You are there to help me through
With a love that never ends
Now here I am I’m here for you
