Lyrics

I touched down in the morning
with just a suitcase and a note
with nothing much to guide me
but the words that she wrote
the memory is blurry
but the message never changed
a mother’s love never fades

with nothing to hold on to
I reached out for anything
strong enough to hold me
and light enough to sing
though many women taught me songs
only one remains
a mother’s love never fades

and though I ran away as soon as I was old enough
it was never you I was running from
so if you’re out there I hope that you know

everywhere I’ve gone
since I set out on my own
you have come along
always been my home
when my soul’s compass is spinning
one thing can set it straight
a mother’s love never fades
a mother’s love never fades
