Listen to I Am My Mother’s Daughter, By Barbara Tremblay Cipak

(VERSE 1)

She sits alone

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

because of the shoulders she let me lean on

because of the tears she wiped away

does she know I love my life

because 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 mother’s daughter

I am the light that shines for others

cause she let her light shine bright on me

I am my mother’s daughter

filled with hope during adversity

I am my mother’s daughter

she’s forever in my heart

I am my mother’s daughter

I am her work of art

(VERSE 2)

Holding my child, I know

I hold a piece of my mother’s 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 begins

I am my mother’s student painter

who loves with all her heart

because…

I am my mother’s daughter

I am the light that shines for others

cause she let her light shine bright on me

I am my mother’s daughter

filled with hope during adversity

I am my mother’s daughter

she’s forever in my heart

I am my mother’s daughter

I am her work of art
