"Mother's Words" lyrics

You see I don't like thunder
I can't stand the rain
And the wind kept coming strong
It's with me on my feet again

At the days are getting darker
The nights get so long
Another reason to remind myself
That life gets sometimes rough

There's a world outside this window
Listen to my words
It's no place for bargain and soft types
Many fall off as well
Don't be a blind fool
If love comes along
It'll swallow and spit you out just like it did to your mom

So, build a bridge
If you can stand on it
Talk of love
As you were livin' it
Don't say 'I told you so' it hurts
That's the way it goes

Don't walk a storm
If you're afraid of it
Don't pick a fight
If you can't handle it
Stand up straight and learn to live with it
It's life
That's the way it goes

You see it makes no difference
Whatever you do
As long as you find happiness
You'll always find a way through
And don't marry the first girl
That comes a long
Well, I know you'll get disappointed
Take it from someone who knows

So, build a bridge
If you can stand on it
Talk of love
As you were livin' it
Don't say 'I told you so' it hurts
That's the way it goes

Don't walk a storm
If you're afraid of it
Don't pick a fight
If you can't handle it
Stand up straight and learn to live with it
It's life
That's the way it goes

You should have seen me
Long time ago
Livin' my glory days in the sun
And if you can't stand it
Then I tell you boy
You found it out for yourself
I'm only here to support you
Just like a mother is suppose to do
Just like a mother is suppose to do

So, build a bridge
If you can stand on it
Talk of love
As you were livin' it
Don't say 'I told you so' it hurts
That's the way it goes

Don't walk a storm
If you're afraid of it
Don't pick a fight
If you can't handle it
Stand up straight and learn to live with it
It's life
That's the way it goes
