Once a child
Never again
It all seems so difficult now
Oh, how I yearn for that innocence
As the days turn to night
This city ignites
With lovers and liars and thieves
Losing sight of what's right
So if she's still with us
Hug your mother and
Let her know that you'll
Always love her
And if you've found yourself
All alone in this world
You can lean on me
It was late in the evening
From my room I could hear her breathing
It occurred to me then like the prick of a pin
My hero was human
Oh, all of my days
From the cradle to grave
I hear her voice
There she is
Within every choice
So if she's still with us
Hug your mother and
Let her know that you'll
Always love her
And if you've found yourself
All alone in this world
Well, it's a long, long road to the
Place in your mind you wanna go
So hold on
She said to me
When you need
You can lean on me
So if she's still with us
Hug your mother and
Let her know that you'll
Always love her
And if you've found yourself
All alone in this world
You can lean on me
So if she's still with us
Hug your mother
Let her know
