every day my mother's voice

every day the sun comes up

like the day before

every day i fill my cup

stand up straight and walk through the door

every day my mother's voice

talks to me

every day i make my choice

what to do and how to be

every day i build my life

on her sacrifice

every day i face my strife

but i know where to go for advice

many roads i could have gone down

many

many ways to disappear

every day i hear the sound

of her voice right by my ear

so clear

so clear

she taught me to be strong

i guess i got lucky

now i've got a dance and i've got a song

they can't take that way away from me

every day

every day

every day i hear my mother's voice

every night the stars come up

just like the night before

every night i drain my cup

lay me down and close the door
