"A Mother's Love" lyrics

She was the first one to see me before the world did
The only one who stayed when I deserve it
Helped me through storms I never told
Fed me with prayers and stories she never told
She gave up sleep, gave up dreams
So I could chase mine and find my wings
Her hands were tired, but her heart stayed wide
Even when I broke it, she stayed by my side

A mother's love, it don't fade away
Don't give up, even on the worst days are strong
Even when it cries at night, it's soft
But it'll still put up a fight
It's the kind that never ask for much
But gives everything with just one touch
You can search the world and still never rise above
The power of a mother's love
Ooh

She saw the good in me when I was lost
Paid the price for me and counted it no cost
Taught me how to pray, how to stand, how to fall
Even when I didn't call, she answered it all
She knew my silence, read my face
Knew when to step in and when to give me space
And now I see what I couldn't before
Her love was a shelter, I kept walking out the door

A mother's love, it don't fade away
Don't run when the skies turn gray
It's true when the world feel fake
It's healing when your heart breaks
It's the kind that don't need no praise
But still show up a thousand ways
Ain't no bond that's built like us
Ain't nothing like a mother's love

Even when I grow, I'll still need a voice
When life gets loud, she quiets the noise
I don't say it enough, but Lord knows it's true
Mama, there's no one like you

A mother's love, it's gone in a flash
It's peace in the chaos, it's every breath
It's the light when the dark won't move
It's the only love I never have to prove
She gave me strength, gave me grace
Wiped every tear I was scared to face
And when it's all said and done up above
I'll still carry a mother's love
