lyrics

Mother dearest its not the same as you think
I’m everything that I am , cuz you taught me to be

Mother dearest things aren’t always as they seem
you’ve done a hell of a job raising me
I’m just how I should be

And when I die
Ill take myself to the blue skys
And the angels I love the most

I’ll take with me, your strength and your curiosity
your beauty and all of your courage
And the lessons I’ve watched you learn

Mother dearest, you once said that we were alike
And I disagreed in my youth
When I didn’t know, I didn’t know you

And as you sit and think, you’d change it if you could
I love every bit that I’ve known
This life that I’ve lived that you’ve shown

When it got tough
You screamed and you yelled and you’d throw stuff
You’d laugh and you’d cry and you’d say things
That sometimes you didn’t mean

Though your unsure how your life will pan out sometimes
You shoulder on and say your fine

I’ve made mistakes most every day
And the one I hate the most
Is not thanking you the right way

Mother dearest in my youth I knew I knew
Now I’m old enough to see were all learning as we go

In your mistakes humility lights the way
Your apologies were loud and clear
And your efforts will surpass your years
And live on in children you leave

Your efforts will surpass your years and live on in children you leave.
