Mother

Looking in your eyes
I don't have enough time
To say how much I love you
It's gone from months
To weeks, to days in hours
Try to contain this fire
That's in my face, in my eyes, in my heart
'Cause I don't want to scare you
I don't want to scare you
My mother, my mother

I get the call and rush to the car
Am I going to make it? I'm shaking
Oh, this is it
How can this be it?
I hold your hand for hours
Even when I know it's done
I hope you felt me there
I hope you felt your son
My mother, my mother
My mother, my mother
My mother

Son go and be the best you can be
That's what you said to me
Your last words to me
So I will be the best I can be
That's the promise from me
That's the promise from me

Can you feel it?
Can you hear it?
And do you know it?
And can you feel it?

My mother, my mother
My mother, my mother
My mother
My mother, my mother
My mother, my mother
My mother, my mother
My mother, my mother
My mother
