It's hard to remember
A summer or winter
When she hasn't been there for me
A friend and companion
I can always depend on
My mother
That's who I mean
I've taken for granted
Seeds that she planted
She's always behind every thing
A teacher a seeker
A both arms outreacher
My mother
That's who I mean
Wish I could slow down
The hands of time
Keep things the way they are
If she said so
I would give her the world
If I could... I would
My love and my laughter
From here ever after
Is all that she says that she needs
A friend and companion
I can always depend on
My mother
That's who I mean
My mother
That's who I mean' that's who I mean
