appreciation of a mother

Lyrics

MOTHER
© 1998 Joan Alexander

As a baby you cried, and she was the one who came.
A few scrapes on the knee, and she kissed away the pain.
A little older now, and love breaks you in two,
Somehow, she knows what to do?
CHORUS:
Mother, starting with a miracle,
Mother, through each and every obstacle
Always shining, standing by,
Always a star in the sky.
As the years go by, you might not need her like you did
You?ve got a life of your own, and you remember all she said
But she?ll hold on to you, and you?ll still hold on to her
And no matter what you do, she?ll be there.

Mother, starting with a miracle,
Mother, through each and every obstacle
Always shining, standing by,
Always a star in the sky.

Now there?s children of my own, and I?m standing where you stood
I can see now where you were, and how you did the best you could.
Whenever doubt rolls in, and it?s all that my mind can see,
I remember how you taught me what it means to be?

Mother, starting with a miracle,
Mother, through each and every obstacle
Always shining, standing by,
Always a star in the sky.

Always shining, standing by,
Always a star in the sky.
