For you my child

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.
