Heart and Mother

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In the midst of my faltering steps, I found you On a day when I could hardly do a thing You eased the worries deep within my heart And left me with just one tender word You looked at me as though I’d finally come home With eyes as clear as an April sky Closer than anyone in this wide, wide world You stayed beside me, gently by my side [Pre-Chorus] When my heart was breaking like a lost child’s You held me close and made me whole again Every time I hear your voice I find the courage to walk on once again [Chorus] You are my dearest love You are the path I walk When you call my name I feel I can be who I truly am You are my dearest love My mother, whose heart overflows with kindness When I’m wrapped in your loving arms The restless world grows quiet and peaceful again [Verse 2] When love left me wounded and brought me to tears You gently wiped the tears from my cheeks “You’ve built so much, one step at a time Don’t tear it all down with your own hands,” you said And you smiled at me just as you did when I was young In that place where your warmth always embraced me Every sorrow, no matter how deep Seemed to melt away like a fleeting dream [Bridge] Even if life should take me far away I’ll find my way back beneath your loving gaze For there is a place where tender memories And the warmth of love breathe deep and live on [Final Chorus / Outro] I’ll hold close everything you’ve given me As precious treasures deep within my heart Gifts that will never fade with time Nor lose their beauty as the years go by And wherever the future leads my way Whatever roads I may come to walk Your love will always live within me A light that never fades away
