I Am My Mothers Daughter

“Listen to the Song” – I Am My Mothers Daughter
rewinding her life story
wondering did she do enough
does she know I Am all I Am because of her
found my place in this world
‘cause of the shoulders she let me lean on
‘cause of the tears she wiped away
does she know I love my life
‘cause of how she paved my paths
does she know when I lay my head down
I thank her first and last
for what she’s given of herself
and though many years have passed
I am now a woman who can see
my mother’s life story told through me
(CHORUS)
I am my mothers daughter
I am the light that shines for others
cause she let her light shine bright on me
I am my mothers daughter
filled with hope during adversity
I am my mothers daughter
she’s forever in my heart
I am my mothers daughter
I am her work of art
(VERSE 2)
Holding my child I know
I hold a piece of my mothers love
she put me first so many times
as I will do for mine
‘cause of the lessons she always taught me
‘cause of the way in which she carried herself
does she know I gather strength from her
‘cause of her compassionate grace
does she know I pass the stories down
for her grandkids to embrace
(BRIDGE to FINAL CHORUS)
As my children’s life begin
I am my mother’s student painter
who loves with all her heart
because…
I am my mothers daughter
I am the light that shines for others
cause she let her light shine bright on me
I am my mothers daughter
filled with hope during adversity
I am my mothers daughter
she’s forever in my heart
I am my mothers daughter
I am her work of art
