She'll take you in, feed your friends
Her open arms are welcoming
She'll rub your back all night when you're crying
She'll listen to you tell your story
Hold your fear and all your worries
Help you find the truth when they're all lying
Even when it's hopeless, she keeps trying

She's your mother, you love her
There won't be another
place like her again that you call home
She stands here to help you
there's nothing she won't do
As long as she's alive
you're not alone
you've got each other
That's your mother

She fixes all the broken things
When you're in love, she's got a ring
To give to you, she hopes you'll give away
She don't care who you give it to
Where they're from, if they pray like you
As long as they are good to you, that's enough
First thing she taught you was love is love

She's your mother, you love her
There won't be another
place like her again that you call home
She stands here to help you
there's nothing she won't do
As long as she's alive
you're not alone
you've got each other
That's your mother

When you fail her, when you're afraid
And crying in the careless mess you've made
She'll make you clean it up yourself
and offer you a little help
And dry your weary eyes when you let her
But she'll look at you and know you can do better

She's your mother, you love her
There won't be another
place like her again that you call home
She stands here to help you
there's nothing she won't do
As long as she's alive
you're not alone
he secrets in your heart she's always known

She's a beacon, a harbour
A lighthouse, her armour
A promise and a blanket when it's cold
You'll understand it more when you get older
You've got each other
That's your mother
You've got each other
That's your mother Writer/s: Jennifer Nettles, Kristian Bush
