She's the sky
that holds the clouds
She's the lady
of the house
A blind believer
in all I dare to be
There's no safer place
I've found
Than the shoulder
of her white night gown
Oh I've got the best
and the worst of her in me
I'd share her if I could
So the wars
would all be over
'Cause she'd raise us
all as friends
And no one
would ever wonder
if somebody wanted them
We'd walk on grass
that's greener
And our cares
would all be freer
If the world had
a mother like mine
She's our father's
one great love
She's the one
he wanted most
She's the light
in the window
of the house
I grew up in
She takes the midnight call
She's the bravest of us all
And she sings in the garden
that she let's her hair down in
Oh the wars
would all be over
'Cause she'd raise us
all as friends
And no one
would ever wonder
if somebody wanted them
Tonight would be easier
And our dreams
would all be deeper
If the world had
a mother like mine
Don't go away
Don't go away from me
Oh I understand
She is a helping hand
Still I have to say
She's the sky
that holds the clouds
She's the lady of our house
We all need her
And no one more than me
Oh the wars
would all be over
'Cause she'd raise us
all as friends
And no one
would ever wonder
if somebody wanted them
We'd walk on grass
that's greener
And the dishes
would all be cleaner
If the world had
a mother like mine
Oh like mine
