Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every day the sun comes up
Like the day before
Every day I fill my cup
Stand up straight, and walk through the door
Every day my mother's voice
Talks to me
Every day I make my choice
What to do and how to be
[Verse 2]
Every day I build my life
On her sacrifice
And every day I face my strife
But I know where I go for advice
Ooh, many roads I could've walked down
Many, many ways to disappear
And every day I hear the sound of her voice right by my ear
So clear, so clear
[Verse 3]
She taught me to be strong
I guess I got lucky
Now I've got a dance and I've got a song
They can't take that away from me
Every day
Every day
Every day I hear my mother's voice
[Verse 4]
Every night the stars come up
Like the night before
And every night I drain my cup
Lay me down and close the door
[Verse 5]
(Every day I hear my mother's voice)
(Every day I hear my mother's voice)
Every day
Every day I hear my mother, hear my mother's voice
(Every day)
I hear my mother's voice (Every day)
I hear my mother's voice (Every day)
I hear my mother's voice (I hear my mother's voice)
Every day
I hear my mother's voice
