You've done raised me good enough,
You're the reason I'm off the ground
And if all those other boys and I
Make it so high I hope they
You're the reason we all can fly
All I can do is just hope I make you proud
Cause out of all the words
you're the reason that I am me
And when your hair gets grey
and you're tired of saying baby,
a mother's loving in her words,
And you and daddy are getting older now
But you still move just like you used to
All I pray is to be the wind that takes you
And your love, it taught me how to love
And be the man that holds
And raise them half as good
Cause out of all the words
you're the reason that I am me
And when your hair gets gray
and you're tired of saying,
You don't need to say no more,
a mother's love ain't in her word
And when you look right at me, mama
I'll tell you, I think back on times
When I did you wrong, yeah
On all these brighter days
And though I haven't said it near enough
Cause out of all the words
you're the reason I am me
You're the reason, you're the reason,
I tell you, you're the reason I have me
and you're tired of saying
You don't need to say no more
A mother's love ain't in her words
