You never took some time, you never needed praise You would work your hands to the bone, you would work your hands to the bone You always made the time, you got me on my way You would work your hands to the bone, just to turn our house to a home A different kind of hero, with a different kind of strength Another word for savior, and another word for saint Mother, a fighter and a lover Always there by my side no matter what I'm going through And there's no other place where we take cover And I know everybody's saying they got the best one But that ain't true, cause I do I know I made it tough, I know I caused you pain You loved me like the angel I'm not But you still held me down like a rock There's nothing I could do, there's nothing I could say The words can float away through the years So I wrote them down for you here The person that I turn to, and the person that I trust A voice inside my head when I think I'm giving up Mother, a fighter and a lover Everything I'll ever have in my hands is because of you And there's no other place where we take cover And I know everybody's saying they got the best one But that ain't true, cause I do No matter where I go, or where I'm at in life You'll always be mine Mother, a fighter and a lover Always there by my side no matter what I'm going through And there's no other place where we take cover And I know everybody's saying they got the best one But that ain't true, I know everybody's saying they got the best one But that ain't true, cause I do Cause I do Thanks for watching!
