Mother I'm lost without you
Mother I'm singing to you
Your love was so strong
Couldn't do any wrong by you

Mother you stole my heart a long time ago
Ever since I came into your world
You gave me a start and taught me all I know
To hold my head high as I walk down the road

Mother I'm getting by without you
Mother I'm singing to you
Your love was so strong
I couldn't do any wrong by you

All of those words I meant to say to you
Like thank you for always being there
But it's never too late so I'll say it again
Your light will always remain

Mother I'm strong because of you
Mother I'm singing to you
Your love was so strong
I couldn't do any wrong by you

There comes a time in all of our lives
When someone has to say goodbye
Hold on to the love and we survive
Yeah that's what my mama told me

Mother I'm strong because of you
Mother I'm still singing to you
Your love was so strong
So mother this song's for you

You can sing along
Lights will shine
Let your light shine on me
