I yearn for Her connection
A chance to know Her face
Her gentleness and holiness
The warmth of Her embrace
I search for Her in longing
And find Her everywhere
For all the world reminds me:
I have a Mother there
A Mother there
I have a Mother there!
A Mother there
I have a Mother there!
I see Her in the colors
That dance on painted wings
In blooming hues that fill my view
When winter yeilds to spring
I hear Her in the songbird's
Melodic gifts to air
For all the world reminds me:
I have a Mother there
A Mother there
I have a Mother there!
A Mother there
I have a Mother there!
I smell in pink carnations
A hint of Her bouquet
And feel Her breeze give life to trees
On peaceful, summer days
I taste Her in the sweetness
Of autumn's golden pear
For all the world reminds me:
I have a Mother there
A Mother there
I have a Mother there!
A Mother there
I have a Mother there!
I see Her in the aging
In children as they grow
In hushing cries and lullabies
Yes, every gentle kindness helps me know
A Mother there
I have a Mother there!
A Mother there
I have a Mother there!
I sense Her in the silence
In moments I am still
She reaches back and teaches that
Her love is what I feel
Now brimming with this wisdom
I find Her everywhere
For all the world reminds me:
I have a Mother there
For all the world reminds me:
I have a Mother there
