Mother

She gave her eyes to me, she wanted to help me see
Oh olive green and hints of the sea. Whatever I did, she just loved me
Now I've grown unsure, but everything I learned from her
It started in a blur waiting to be unobscured.
Oh, mother, mother, mother, help us love each other
Oh, mother, mother, mother, help us love each other
I have her love for dance. It puts us in a trance
Now I still wear little pants. I hope I grow into her hands
My heart can only be half her size, till I look in my first child's eyes
Till then I'll still be surprised why she gave up her entire life for mine
Instrumental
A garden full of flowers. We can walk and talk for hours
In love and pollen I'll be showered. I'll never know her true power
A green dove of motherly love. She puts out seed for all her doves
I pray that I can have just one and sing to the one where the children are
Oh, mother, mother, mother, help us love each other
Oh, mother, mother, mother, help us love each other
