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
