Lyrics

[Verse 1][Male Singer]
Mum was up while the stars still shone,
Made sure we were never late,
Packed our bags and kissed our heads,
Long before the sunlight’s gate.
She gave us more than we could see,
On days when there was less —
Not perfect, no, but every day,
She gave it her best.

[Verse 2][Male Singer]
She never spoke a bitter word,
Even when we got it wrong,
Took the blame, took the weight,
Held our world where it belonged.
Kept us fed, kept us close,
Kept her tears behind her chest —
Never asked for gold or thanks,
She just gave it her best.

[Chorus][Male & Female Singers in harmony]
She’s the kind of mum all mums should be,
Loving fierce and endlessly.
Put herself behind our needs,
Let us rise while she lost sleep.
Didn’t need to pass a test —
We already knew,
She gave it her best.

[Verse 3][Male Singer]
One rupee in my hand,
Peppermints at the station stall,
A tiny gift from a younger me,
For the one who gave it all.
Her lessons weren’t in words,
But in kindness she expressed —
We saw her give when she had none,
And still, she gave the rest.

[Bridge][Male Singer]
Mum, with a spoon in her gentle hand,
Made magic out of meals unplanned.
The tastiest food we’ve ever known,
Was born from love and love alone.
No silver pots, no need to boast —
She fed our hearts when we needed it most.

[Chorus][Male & Female Singers in harmony]
She’s the kind of mum all mums should be,
Loving fierce and endlessly.
Put herself behind our needs,
Let us rise while she lost sleep.
Didn’t need to pass a test —
We already knew,
She gave it her best.

[Outro][Male Singer]
No trophies on a shelf to see,
No spotlight chasing legacy —
Just a heart that loved, unconditionally,
A devoted mum, full of grace.
She wasn't perfect, no —
But still, she gave it her best.
