A Mother's Call

I grew up where the fields are green and endless
Where your moneys worth was who you had around
My mother taught me faith was better than kindness
And she helped me keep my feet firm on the ground
She said go out where you want to
Keep your head above the water
Cause life's about the sacrifices made
If there's heard of stormy weather
Son I hope you still remember
That a mother's call is never far away
I never asked for much when I was young
But you always made our house feel like a home
And all thought it wasn't smooth
Sometimes I never told the truth
You always gave to me the love a mother should
I'm on a new stage of my journey
What's the point being in a hurry
Those fairytales could soon be on their way
If there's heard of stormy weather
Son I hope you still remember
That a mother's call is never far away
There's lots of highs and lows that's yet to come
All the bumps along the road only make you strong
Keep your cards close to your chest
And give nothing but the best
These simple words give me the strength to carry on
And although my youth is fading
My memory's remaining
I'll carry with me words from long ago
If there's heard of stormy weather
Son I hope you still remember
That a mother's call is never far away
When there's heard of stormy weather
Oh I always will remember
That a mother's call is never far away
