Mother holds her head up high
Conquering the great divide
A thousand miles beyond the grave
With shadows in the blind
Mother knows what must be done
Fighting for her precious ones
There can be no compromise
No matter what may come
When all hope is left to die
A mother's love survives
Mother never bows to fate
Gleaning for what can't be changed
We discover in due time
How much we're meant to take
When all hope is left to die
A mother's love survives
See how we run
Trying to escape the damage done
Don't know what's to come
This bond will never break
____
Mother you may never know
Debt I owe to you alone
I hope I can repay in time
For never letting go
When all hope was left to die
Your love for me survived
Your love for me survived
Your love for me survived
