V5.5

[Verse 1] I learned your hands before my name Warm bread morning, worn-out frame You fixed my sleeve, you kissed my bruise You gave me more than I could use You stood there steady through my storms A quiet house, a heart that warms When I was nothing but a cry You said my boy, you'll reach the sky [Pre-Chorus] And every scar I carry You knew before I spoke You turned my fear to mercy You turned my bend to hope [Chorus] Mother's love, my greatest reward Mother's love, you carried me far When I was weak, you held the door Mother's love, my greatest reward (ah-ah, my greatest reward) [Verse 2] I saw you fold the night away With tired eyes and no complaint You gave me lunch, you gave me faith You gave me strength I can't replace Now every road I walk alone Still feels like coming back home If I can stand, if I can sing It came from you, my everything [Pre-Chorus] And every tear you swallowed Was water for my soul You made a broken heartbeat Beat brave enough to grow [Chorus] Mother's love, my greatest reward Mother's love, you carried me far When I was weak, you held the door Mother's love, my greatest reward (ah-ah, my greatest reward) [Bridge] If heaven asks what shaped my life I'll point to you and call it light No crown, no gold, no shining fame Could ever hold your sacred name [Final Chorus] Mother's love, my greatest reward Mother's love, you carried me far When I was weak, you held the door Mother's love, my greatest reward Mother's love, forever my song Mother's love, you made me strong When I was lost, you guided me home Mother's love, forever my song (ah-ah, forever my song)
