My mother's love

Unites this crazy family

My mother's love

Is like an ascending dove

Who listens to many a plea

And always responds patiently

My mother's love

Forever unconditional

Though I fail once, and then again

Forever unconditional

She brightens up my life so dull

And pulls me out of the lions' den

Lifting me up to the mountain glen

Forever unconditional
