It's hard to remember A summer or winter When she hasn't been there for me A friend and companion I can always depend on My mother That's who I mean I've taken for granted seeds that she planted She's always behind every thing A teacher a seeker A both arms outreacher My mother That's who I mean Wish I could slow down The hands of time keep things the way they are If she said so I would give her the world If I could... I would My love and my laughter From here ever after Is all that she says that she needs A friend and companion I can always depend on My mother That's who I mean My mother That's who I mean' that's who I mean
