Oh,
yeah
There
is
a
song
within
the
soul
About
a
light
that
never
grows
dim
Let
me
tell
you
'bout
the
purest
kind
of
love
Early
morning
sun
is
peeking
through
the
blind
I
remember
all
the
lessons
that
you
left
behind
You
were
the
anchor
in
the
middle
of
the
gale
A
steady
hand
when
every
other
plan
would
fail
I
walked
a
thousand
miles
but
your
wisdom
stayed
A
golden
memory
that
simply
never
fades
Through
the
winter
cold
and
the
summer
heat
You
kept
the
rhythm
steady
for
my
tired
feet
Oh,
a
mother's
love
is
like
a
river
running
wide
It's
the
constant
flow
that's
always
by
my
side
It
doesn't
ask
for
payment,
it
doesn't
look
for
praise
It's
the
quiet
fire
that
warms
the
darkest
days
Yeah,
a
mother's
love
will
never
reach
an
end
It's
the
heart
of
the
home,
my
truest
friend
I
remember
late
nights
studyin'
by
the
lamp
Writing
out
my
future
while
the
air
was
feeling
damp
You
brought
me
cocoa,
you
whispered
I
was
strong
When
the
world
was
heavy,
you
helped
me
move
along
I've
seen
the
seasons
change,
I've
seen
the
colors
shift
But
you
remain
the
giver
of
the
greatest
gift
You
taught
me
how
to
walk,
you
taught
me
how
to
pray
To
keep
my
spirit
steady
in
the
fray
Oh,
a
mother's
love
is
like
a
river
running
wide
It's
the
constant
flow
that's
always
by
my
side
It
doesn't
ask
for
payment,
it
doesn't
look
for
praise
It's
the
quiet
fire
that
warms
the
darkest
days
Yeah,
a
mother's
love
will
never
reach
an
end
It's
the
heart
of
the
home,
my
truest
friend
Time
keeps
spinning,
moving
fast
Some
things
come
and
go,
nothing's
meant
to
last
But
this
foundation
that
you
built
for
me
Is
stronger
than
the
rocks
beneath
the
deep
blue
sea
I
carry
you
inside
in
everything
I
do
Reflecting
back
the
kindness
that
I
learned
from
you (

So
now
I'm
grown,
I'm
finding
out
the
way
I
think
about
the
things
you
used
to
say
It's
easy-going
now,
the
path
is
getting
clear
Because
the
voice
of
love
is
always
ringing
in
my
ear
I'll
pass
it
on,
the
warmth
you
shared
with
me
A
legacy
of
hope
for
all
the
world
to
see
It
never
wavers,
it's
always
standing
tall
A
love
that
catches
me
whenever
I
should
fall
Oh,
a
mother's
love
is
like
a
river
running
wide
It's
the
constant
flow
that's
always
by
my
side
It
doesn't
ask
for
payment,
it
doesn't
look
for
praise
It's
the
quiet
fire
that
warms
the
darkest
days
Yeah,
a
mother's
love
will
never
reach
an
end
It's
the
heart
of
the
home,
my
truest
friend
It
never
ends,
no
It
stays
with
me
Across
the
years,
through
the
miles
Your
love,
oh
mother
Always
the
guiding
star
Yeah,
it
lives
on (
