Mother's Day Song

I gave you heartburn and I made you sick
Long before I even took my first breath
And you barely slept for two years after you brought me home

I ruined your carpet and colored your walls
Then did it again after you scrubbed it off
And if you were lucky, I'd give you the bathroom alone
But still, you look back on it all and you smile
So here's to you Mom from the heart of your child

Thank you for loving me tenderly
And showing me how to be strong
The least I can do after all you have done
Is thank you for being my mom
I thank you for being my mom

For listening to me when that girl stole my heart
And letting me practice with your brand-new car
For teaching me how to make Jesus my everything
For being right there every time that I fall
And praying for me faithfully through it all
I am convinced I'm still here 'cause you stayed on your knees

I don't tell you enough just how special you are
But I'm grateful, so know from the depths of my heart

Thank you for loving me tenderly
And showing me how to be strong
The least I can do after all you have done
Is thank you for being my mom
I thank you for being my mom

Someday, I'll be the one with blue marks on my walls
And staying awake all night long
As hard as I try, I can honestly say
That we all would be lost without more

So, thank you for loving me tenderly
And showing me how to be strong
The least I can do after all you have done
Is thank you for being my mom
I thank you for being my mom, hmm
