I was cryin' when I came into this world
I held on longer to training wheels than the other boys and girls
I kept on fallin'
You kept on pushin'
Telling me I could fly
You had me each step of the way
No matter the season
You willingly, quietly, patiently gave
And I'm grateful
For a mother's love
High school dances, screaming matches, heartbreak
I was clever, I knew better, and I moved far away
I kept on fallin'
You kept on pushing'
Telling me I could fly
You had me each step of the way
No matter the season
You willingly, quietly, patiently gave
And I'm grateful
For a mother's love
And when you grow frail
I will never fail
To push you along until you fly
I'll have you each step of the way
No matter the season
I'll willingly, quietly, patiently stay
'Cause I'm grateful
For a mother's love
