Prompt / Lyrics
As a toddler we played all day We flipped, jumped, swam, and played sports, Did art and all things I'm good at todayyyyy All the love you gave All the games you playedddddd didn't realize how much patience you gaveeeee I am gratefullllll As the years passed I learned to serve Watching you host Watching you givvvveeeeee More then anyone deserved Many nights you cried Many times you lied Giving all you had Acting like we weren't just getting by I learned your strength I learned to loveeeeeeee I learned that God was up aboveeeeeee Returning our loveeeeeee Far more then we deservvvvvveeee I learned it pays off to want to servvvvveeeeeee [chorus] I can never explain what you mean to meeeeee I can never describe the love inside What I hear in your voice when you speak to me But I thank God everyday for you I just want you to know how very much I lovvvvvveee Yoooouuuuuuuuu Many times when you stepped up And thought no one noticed Working extra hard as a single mother To buy Christmas gifts for us Pay for sports for us Even though you couldn’t afford it But you never once told us You always came through, found a way to get us through school Even the years when I reached my rebellious stage Thinking I was grown Because of my age Letting out hormone rage Talking back Throwing insults Which results Of being torn inside Couldn’t fix some of the things said even if I tried But you still stuck around Holding your ground Loving me when no one else was around I remember asking God for forgiveness Even though I had already moved out But you were already in this … Praying for a way to resolve and dissolve the anger and hurt and evolve into A Mother and Daughter For better or worse till death to us part Together we’re better We’re stronger! Thinking it would take longer Our hearts grew founder God came along and told my mother, “I Found Her!” [chorus] I can never explain what you mean to meeeeee I can never describe the love inside What I hear in your voice when you speak to me But I thank God everyday for you I just want you to know how very much I Lovvvveeeee Yoooouuuuuuuuu I’m so thankful for your loveeeeeeee I’m so grateful for God aboveeeeeee Because of you I have this strenghtttttt Far more than I deserve Thank you for showing me the reward of living to servvvveeeee Married now and a few children later Learning lessons decades later Taking in patience as a mother the creatorrrr Now I understandddd Many times you crieddddddd Now I understandddddd When I didn’t know whyyyyy But I’m sorrrrrrryyyyyy There’s nothing else to sayyyy Except I’m sorryyyyyyyy From a child till now and many years to come You have always been my Mother, my friend, the grandmother of my children and the Angel from God I will call again and again chorus] I can never explain what you mean to meee I can never describe the love inside What I hear in your voice when you speak to me But I thank God everyday for you I just want you to know how very much Iove youu
