For my mom, and all that she has done for me from developing zygote to multifaceted human being. Moms are awesome.

lyrics

You are my mom, I love you so
You held my hand, and you watched me grow
But you remember better than me, don’t you?
In the nude I ran the lawn
The neighbors yelling “what the hell is going on!?”
But you just let me be so hallelujah!

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelu-ujah
(Chorus)

Your love was strong, I didn’t need proof
You gave me food, and clothes, a roof
You never asked for anything to repay you.
Mommy, you were always fair
Your neutral stance showed us you cared
And with your advice I drew the hallelujah!

(Chorus)

At five years old, I wanted bangs
Was in the bathroom, in you came
You took the scissors, fixed the zig-zags, didn’t you?
Mama bird, you were always there
To tie my shoes, to brush my hair
What would I do without you, hallelujah!

(Chorus)

I hear it all the time today
“How’d all you girls turn out this way”
You really have a hell of a great mom, don’t you?
And I say yeah, she’s one of a kind
I’d choose her to be mine every time
Mom, you’re just so awesome, hallelujah!

(Chorus)

We’ve never been here before
We moved away, not one, but four
You never thought it would be so quiet, did you?
But mama I still think of you
You influence everything I do
You’re part of who I am and hallelujah!

(Chorus)
(Chorus)
