I Am Your Mother Too

(Album: Big Wide Grin - 2001)

This house is not the same
It's filled with joy and light
A miracle, a wish come true
Sweet crying in the night
We waited patiently
For our chance to come
We prayed and we believed
And thy will was done

And though you came
From the womb of another
I will care for you
Life is your sister
And love is your brother
And I am your mother too
I am your mother too

We don't know everything
But we'll do the best that we can
You'll learn from us
And we'll learn from you
And somehow understand
It's a new beginning
A brand new day
And we're ready for the highs and lows
And the bumps along the way

And though you were
Conceived by another
I will care for you
Life is your sister
And love is your brother
And I am your father too
I am your father too

Your sweet young mother
Entrusted us with you
We promised her that we would do
Everything for you
We put our arms around her
And helped her wipe her tears
And told her when she needed us
That we would be here

And though you came
From the womb of another
We will care for you
Life is your sister
And love is your brother
I am your mother too
I am your father too

We are your family too
We are your family too
We are your family too
