You had to find you.
I bit my tongue, believed in us.
But you should never have a scar,
not on a soul as pure as yours.
If the world was cruel and blind,
I stood beside you and the fight.
I did what mothers sometimes do,
I took the hurt to rescue you.
Chorus
For you, my child, I gave it all.
No mountain high, no pain too tall.
Through every fire, through every storm,
I tried to keep you safe, I tried to keep you warm.
And if I had to fall to rise your world,
I'd fall again for you, my child.
I wiped your eyes.
I worked hard, I prayed all day,
just to see you smile that way.
I watched you grow, I watched you fall.
I caught your steps when you were small.
Every bruise and falls,
I took them in so you could breathe.
Chorus
For you, my child, I gave it all.
No mountain high, no pain too tall.
Through every fire, through every storm,
I tried to keep you safe, I tried to keep you warm.
And if I had to fall to rise your world,
I'd fall again for you, my child.
And if this song's the last I sing,
let it be the peace I bring.
A mother's love, a sacred word,
you'll always be my little child.
