  • 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
