A Song For My Mother

Mother, mother, mother This is for you I still remember the day you said to me "My baby, you can do whatever you wanna do When you grow up, when you're up, baby" And I still remember how you taught me so many things From child to girl and from girl to boys And that's how I started to know myself I still can remember how we lived together How you cared for me in times of misery I'll always remember how you were my mentor One day I hope to be Just like the mother that you are for me Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Some days you were crying so much You were so young and you did everything All on your own, you were alone, yeah And I thank you now 'cause you taught me so many things From girl to woman and from woman to you And you're there whenever I need your help I still can remember how we lived together How you cared for me in times of misery I'll always remember how you were my mentor One day I hope to be Just like the mother that you are for me Normally, in my life, I don't want the world to see me cry But if I get emotional, that's because you are so special And I don't care what people say I'll live my live my very own way Through wind and stormy weather You'll always be my mother, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh yeah I still can remember how we lived together How you cared for me in times of misery I'll always remember how you were my mentor One day I hope to be Just like the mother that you are for me
