Mom Like You

The moment that you held me for the first time
I didn't know the blessing it was that you were mine
Now I don't know what I'd do without a mom like you

Then a few years later you're driving me to school
I knew you always prayed for me
'Cause the world can be so cruel
I don't know what I'd do without a mom like you

All the times I felt like quitting, you saw what I could be
When I was all but done with dreaming, you still dreamed for me
All the ways you choose to love me have led me to believe
There's no way that I could be a man like me
Without a mom like you

Through all my teenage troubles
It must've been so hard
You had to let me make mistakes
You knew would break my heart
God knows I made it through
'Cause I had a mom like you

When I said that I was ready
To start a new life
You helped me pack the boxes
And pretended not to cry
So many things I only had the strength to do
'Cause I had a mom like you

All the times I felt like quitting, you saw what I could be
When I was all but done with dreaming, you still dreamed for me
All the ways you choose to love me have led me to believe
There's no way that I could be a man like me
Without a mom like you
Without a mom like you
Through every victory
And every failure
You always said you're proud of me
I knew that you were proud to be
My mom
And all along
There was nothing I could ever do
To lose the love of a mom like you
A mom like you

All the times I felt like quitting, you saw what I could be
When I was all but done with dreaming, you still dreamed for me
All the ways you choose to love me have led me to believe
There's no way that I could be a man like me
Without a mom like you
Without a mom like you
Thank God I have a mom like you
