Mother lay your heart on me
Let your vision be one I see
Let your passion set me free
And bring to me my sweetest dreams.
You were there when I was born
Opened my eyes to the coming dawn
Made the wind whisper near
As you calmed my early fears
As I grew in the mid-day sun
You showed me worlds I'd never sung
You put your fire into my soul
And gave me warmth when I was cold
Now I see through children's eyes
Your love is there where sea meets sky
You care for me as I care for them
You are my friend to journey's end
As my light begins to fade
I know the wisdom that comes with age
As darkness comes I share your soul
As I leave you make me whole.
Mother lay your heart on me
Let your vision be one I see
Let your passion set me free
And bring to me my sweetest dreams.
