[Verse 1] She wakes before the morning light Smooths the wrinkles from your sleeve Counts your heartbeat through the night Guards the dreams you still believe No parade, no grand applause Just her hands that never rest Living proof of love's true laws Giving always what is best [Chorus ] A mother's love, it asks for nothing Just to see you standing strong Her heart keeps giving, never wanting Only that you carry on She's the shelter in the storm The quiet grace that keeps you warm A mother's love, so rare, so true She finds her joy in seeing you [Verse 2] She remembers every scar Every tear you tried to hide Knows exactly who you are Holds you close without your pride Time may steal her strength away But never dims that steady flame She would trade her every day Just to spare you any pain [Chorus ] A mother's love, it asks for nothing Just to see you standing strong Her heart keeps giving, never wanting Only that you carry on She's the shelter in the storm The quiet grace that keeps you warm A mother's love, so rare, so true She finds her joy in seeing you [Bridge ] No crown could ever measure The worth of what she gives Her greatest, sweetest treasure Is knowing that you live Happy, healthy, free from harm Wrapped within her tireless arms [Chorus ] A mother's love, it asks for nothing Just to see you standing strong Her heart keeps giving, never wanting Only that you carry on She's the shelter in the storm The quiet grace that keeps you warm A mother's love, so rare, so true She finds her joy in seeing you [Outro ] She finds her joy in seeing you Healthy, happy, shining through A mother's love, forever true
