[Verse 1] When you had pain I kissed it away When you had a nightmare I chased the monsters away When you were scared I held you close And I comforted you If you wanted to sleep in my room because you felt safe, that was fine When I read to you you snuggled up against me, so warm, such a good feeling If you wanted to feel safe I would hold you I watched you breathe so soft and slow And my heart said stay [Chorus] Because you are my child My child my child A mother's here to guard you From the evil world Because you are my child My child my child You are my life my strength I will never give up [Verse 2] You were so free and joyful You took on challenges full of energy Even though you found them scary You climbed anyway You have climbed many mountains Known deep valleys too You always get up And fight your way back through [Pre-Chorus] I will always be there for you I will always be there for you When the night gets heavy I will be your roof [Chorus] Because you are my child My child my child A mother's here to guard you From the evil world Because you are my child My child my child You are my life my strength I will never give up [Bridge] I watched you sleep so peaceful and quiet And a warmth came over me A feeling of peace and tranquility Right here in my arms
