Mother

How can it be
That one day we are not here
And the next day
Somehow we are?
And how can it be
That one day you don't know her
And the next day
You're in her arms?

Miracle of miracles
Blinking in the light
Crying in the hospital room
Fingers holding tight

No one loves you like a mother can
Nothing saves you like a mother's hands
A lamp for a heart
A light in the dark
A woman unlike any other
No one loves you like a mother

Who would I be
Without you to guide me?
And what would I do
Without you beside?
And where could I go
That you would not find me?
Is there any load
You could not make light?

Miracle of miracles
Strongest force on Earth
A bond that's so unbreakable
It's written at your birth

No one loves you like a mother can
Nothing saves you like a mother's hands
A lamp for a heart
A light in the dark
A promise you can't understand

No one holds you like a mother does
When you have fallen, she will pick you up
The still in the storm
From the moment you're born
A woman unlike any other
No one loves you like a mother

And one day she must leave me
And I will never be the same
And though Heaven gained an angel
I'll never lose the love she gave

'Cause no one loves you like a mother can
Nothing saves you like a mother's hands
A lamp for a heart
A light in the dark
A promise you can't understand

No one holds you like a mother does
When you have fallen, she will pick you up
The still in the storm
From the moment you're born
A woman unlike any other
No one loves you like a mother
