MOTHER YOU HELD ME

 

MOTHER YOU HELD ME ! 

You tied my shoes in the dark

Rubbed the sleep from my eyes

Packed my lunch in a hurry

Still you made it feel bright

Your hands knew every fever

Every bruise, every tear

You said, "Hold on, baby . I'm right here"

And when the world felt heavy

You carried what I couldn't hold

You gave me courage In a coat of gold

Mother, you held me ;You held me close

Mother, you loved me ;More than I know

When I fall apart ;You stitch me whole

Mother, you held me ;You held me close

You stayed up counting breaths

By the glow of the hall

When I broke down crying

You answered every call

You shared your last good bite

Gave me the warmer seat

You made a home out of

The hardest week

And when I couldn't see it

You were still shining through

Like a small brave lantern

Showing me true

Mother, you held me ;You held me close

Mother, you loved me ;More than I know

When I fall apart ;You stitch me whole

Mother, you held me ;You held me close

Now I see your tired eyes

All the miles you walked for me

Every scar, every worry

Was your way of setting me free

If I ever have a child

I'll know what love can do

'Cause your care lives in my bones And I carry you.

Mother, you held me ;You held me close

Mother, you loved me ;More than I know

When I fall apart ;You stitch me whole

Mother, you held me ;You held me close

Mother, you held me ;You held me close

Mother, you loved me ; More than I know
