She's the sky that holds the clouds
She's the lady of the house
A blind believer in all I'd dare to be
There's no safer place I found
In the shoulder of a white night gown
Oh I've got the best and the worst of her in me
And I'd share her if I could
So the wars would all be over
'cause she'd raise us all as friends
And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them
We'd walk on grass that's greener
And our cares would all be freer
If the world had a mother like mine
Hmm
She's our father's one great love
She's the one he wanted most
She's the light in the window
Of the house I grew up in
She takes the midnight call
She's the bravest of us all
Still she sings in the garden
She lets her hair down in
All the wars would all be over
Cause she'd raise us all as friends
And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them
Tonight would be easier
And our dreams would all be deeper
If the world had a mother like mine
Don't go away
Don't go away from me
Oh I understand she is a helping hand
Still I have to say
She's the sky that holds a cloud
She's the lady of our house
We all need her and no one more than me
Oh the wars would all be over
Cause she'd raise us all as friends
And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them
We'd walk on grass that's greener
And the dishes would all be cleaner
If the world had a mother like mine
Oh like mine
Baby
