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

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 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
But I have to say

She´s the sky that holds the clouds
She´s the lady of our house
We all need her
But 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 just how much she 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
