Mother Like Mine

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 worst of her in me

And I'd share her if I could

So the wars would all be over 'cause she'd raised 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

Still, she sings in the garden, she lets her hair down in

Oh, the wars would all be over, 'cause she'd raised 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 helpin' hand, still, I have to say

She's the sky that holds the clouds, she's the lady of the house

We all need her, but no one more than me

Oh, the wars would all be over, 'cause she'd raised us all as friends

And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them

We'd walk on grass that's greener and our dishes would all be cleaner

If the world had a mother like mine

Ooh, like mine
