Mother - Ashanti
I would never let a tear fall
from your eyes
cause everyting you are to me
I could never
let you hurt inside
You mean so much and
I'm so thankful
that your in my life
And I appreciate your love
and all sacafice
Without you by my sideI
never could survive
I wouldn't be the woman
standing here before your eyes
You taught me strength
and you gave me guidance
Whenever faith was lost
you were there to find it
And all because a mother's
love is unconditional
With all my heart
and all my soul
I want let you know
That i thank you and
i love you and
i will never place
anyone above you
Said i thank you
and i love you
and i could never ever place
no one above you
You have given me life and
i just want you to know
that your the reason
im here today
i will never let go
to everything
that we shared
and nothing can compare
i thank you i thank you
i thank you is what im saying
See ive been blessed
to be raised
by a woman so strong
Cuz even when
i did things wrong
you would show me just the way
that i should carry on
You kept me safe
and you protected me
with all you had
and everytime i was
in need you gave your very las
Without you by my side
i never could survive
i wouldnt be the woman
standing here before your eyes
You taught me strength
and you gave me
guidence whenever
faith was lost

i thank you is what im saying
I remeber waking up
early monday morings
with my new dress and
my new shoes
with the buckles on em
and you would kiss my face
and say i love you baby
and you would be right
there to take all
of my fear away
and when he broke
my heart you said
it was his lost
and not to think about
about your better off
with out him
Remember when they said that
i was never gonna make it
You said it Shows and all
you gotta do is go
and take it
Said i thank you
and i love you
And i will never
ever place no one above you
said i thank you
and i love you
and i will never ever place
no one above you
See you have given me life
and i just want you to know
that your the reason
im here today
i will never let go
to everything that we shared
and nothing can compare
Said i thank you
and i love you
And i will never
ever place no one above you
said i thank you
and i love you
and i will never ever place
no one above you
See you have given me life
and i just want you to know
that your the reason
im here today
i will never let go
to everything that we shared
and nothing can compare
i thank you i thank you
i thank you is what im saying
