She's the sky that holds the clouds

She's the lady of the house

A blind believer in all I dare to be

There's no safer place I've found

Than the shoulder of her white night gown

Oh I've got the best and the worst of her in me

I'd share her if I could

Oh the wars would all be over

'cause she'd raise us all as friends

And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them

We'd walk on grass that's greener

And our cares would all be freer

If the world had a mother like mine

She's our father's one great love

She's the one he wanted most

She's the light in the window of the house I grew up in

She takes the midnight call

She's the bravest of us all

And she sings in the garden that she let's her hair down in

Oh the wars would all be over

'cause she'd raise us all as friends

And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them

Tonight would be easier

And our dreams would all be deeper

If the world had a mother like mine

Don't go away

Don't go away from me

Oh I understand

She is a helping hand

But I have to say

She's the sky that holds the clouds

She's the lady of our house

We all need her

But no one more than me

Oh the wars would all be over

'cause she'd raise us all as friends

And no one would ever wonder just how much she wanted them

We'd walk on grass that's greener

And the dishes would all be cleaner

If the world had a mother like mine

Oh like mine
