Mother (Bless You, I Love You)

The world isn’t worthy of you 

Rags to mediocrity to some

Yet you emerged from the ashes

Without a spec of the past

I want to be like you when I grow up

I hope my genes fit that wish

You taught me not to wallow in self misery

It doesn’t do us any good

I’m a romantic and imaginative 

Yet you kept one of my feet on the ground 

To some you are my mother

If they knew your story

You’d be an inspiration 

Bless you, I love you. 

My worlds better because of you

Without your guidance I would be done 

I know that you took your lashes 

You give me something to last 

I couldn’t ever repay you enough 

You should know that’s my wish 

You showed me that I could be myself despite the world 

And you’d love me no matter what 

Thank you for never giving up on me then

Even though I didn’t care you still did

To some you are my mother

If they knew your story

You’d be an inspiration 

Bless you, I love you. 

You’re my hero

My solid ground

When everything’s wrong

You’ll always be right. 

To some you are my mother

If they knew your story

You’d be an inspiration 

Bless you, I love you.
