MOTHER IS THE ONE

MOTHER IS THE ONE
WHO WIPES AWAY THE TEARS
WHO BANDAGES THE CUTS AND SCRAPES
AND HUGS AWAY THE FEARS

MOTHER IS THE ONE
WHO SITS BY YOUR SIDE
UNTIL THE FEVER BREAKS
AND PRAYS FOR YOU EACH NIGHT

MOTHER IS THE ONE
WHO WATCHES THE SCHOOL PLAY
AND BRAGS TO EVERYONE ELSE
IN THE PTA

MOTHER IS THE ONE
WHO IS YOUR BIGGEST FAN
AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO IN LIFE
SHE WILL BE THERE TO LEND A HAND
