My Highest Calling
For a while my eyes were fixed
On the top step of the ladder I climbed
I wanted worldly success
Fame and fortune
Nothing less
But my eyes can only gaze
On one thing at a time
I overlooked my biggest treasure that was you
I have a child
I own a fine legacy
I'm building a foundation
For a future generation
I may not see
The best use of my time on earth is
Here with you
My child
I won't be distracted with things not of you
To walk with you
And talk with you
Be there for you
Is my worthiest outpouring
My highest calling
I see you tryin' to grow
In the chaos of the world
Stressed, lonely,
Runnin' wild
With silent screams
From a broken heart
To help set you on your feet again
After you fall
Is the most remarkable task
I live for
I have a child
I own a fine legacy
I'm building a foundation
For a future generation
I may not see
The best use of my time on earth is
Here with you
My child
I won't be distracted with things not of you
To walk with you
And talk with you
Be there for you
Is my worthiest outpouring
My highest calling
I'm not a perfect mother
But I keep going
It hasn't been perfect for you too
But won't you keep going
We may fall but we'll recall
That you're not alone
So stand tall
I'm with you for the long haul
For you are my highest calling
I have a child
I own a fine legacy
I'm building a foundation
For a future generation
I may not see
The best use of my time on earth is
Here with you
My child
I won't be distracted with things not of you
To walk with you
And talk with you
Be there for you
Is my worthiest outpouring
My highest calling
On the top step of the ladder I climbed
I wanted worldly success
Fame and fortune
Nothing less
But my eyes can only gaze
On one thing at a time
I overlooked my biggest treasure that was you
I have a child
I own a fine legacy
I'm building a foundation
For a future generation
I may not see
The best use of my time on earth is
Here with you
My child
I won't be distracted with things not of you
To walk with you
And talk with you
Be there for you
Is my worthiest outpouring
My highest calling
I see you tryin' to grow
In the chaos of the world
Stressed, lonely,
Runnin' wild
With silent screams
From a broken heart
To help set you on your feet again
After you fall
Is the most remarkable task
I live for
I have a child
I own a fine legacy
I'm building a foundation
For a future generation
I may not see
The best use of my time on earth is
Here with you
My child
I won't be distracted with things not of you
To walk with you
And talk with you
Be there for you
Is my worthiest outpouring
My highest calling
I'm not a perfect mother
But I keep going
It hasn't been perfect for you too
But won't you keep going
We may fall but we'll recall
That you're not alone
So stand tall
I'm with you for the long haul
For you are my highest calling
I have a child
I own a fine legacy
I'm building a foundation
For a future generation
I may not see
The best use of my time on earth is
Here with you
My child
I won't be distracted with things not of you
To walk with you
And talk with you
Be there for you
Is my worthiest outpouring
My highest calling
