Oh Mother
Have I told you, you are my river
That never stops for rest
Have I thanked you for letting me come out of you
And giving me all of your best

Have I thanked you for having our family
Without them I wouldn't be here
Have I told you no matter how far I may go
All of you always are near

Oh mother you've given everything to me
Oh mother you've never asked for anything
Oh mother I'm sorry for all those times I hurt you so
When all along it was really me
Scared of letting go
So afraid to grow

Have I told you I'll love you forever
Have I told you I'll love you always
Have I told you the difference you make in my life
You make it your own special way

Oh mother you've given everything to me
Oh mother you've never asked for anything
Oh mother you've given everything to me
Have I told you, you never asked for anything
That I love you
Have I told you today
