Watch You Be A Mother

(album: Sweetness And Sorrow - 2018)

You do it all, you always have
Ten years in and two young kids
You wear so many hats
I see you patient, I see you kind
But I see you in a new light
How you love those kids of mine

And you ask me do I love you like I did at 24
And I just laugh because I don't, no, I love you more

You're a giver, you're a lover, you're a friend
You're a fighter, fighting for this love to win
So many roles that you cover and you play them like no other
But I think that I love you the most
When I watch you be a mother
When I watch you be a mother

Your white shirts have all got stains
And whether hauling kids or healing wounds
You spin so many plates
And how you do it, I just don't know
But there's a million ways your love and grace
Make our house feel like home

And you say that you don't look quite like you did at 24
But if I'm honest, right now, I'm attracted to you more

You're a giver, you're a lover, you're a friend
You're a fighter, fighting for this love to win
So many roles that you cover and you play them like no other
But I think that I love you the most
When I watch you be a mother

When I see the way you cover them with prayer from your knees
And I see the way you lift them up above your very needs
And I see the sacrifices 'cause you love them like no other
I can't take my eyes off of you
When I watch you be a mother

You're a giver, you're a lover, you're a friend
You're a fighter, fighting for this love to win
So many roles that you cover and you play them like no other
But I think that I love you the most
When I watch you be a mother
When I watch you be a mother
