It's hard to remember
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 need
I've taken for granted
The seeds that she's planted
She's always behind everything
A teacher, a seeker
A golden-star reacher
My mother, that's who I need
If I could turn back
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 could always depend on
My mother, that's who I need
My mother, that's who I need
That's who I need
