When God Made You My Mother

[00:04.97] I bet you could've used a minute

[00:10.08] Just a little time alone

[00:14.60] But you let me be your little shadow

[00:18.60] Followin' wherever you would go

[00:23.65] Then I got a little older

[00:27.90] And you gave me space to grow

[00:33.22] I don't ever seem to tell you enough, but

[00:37.73] I want you to know

[00:41.18] When God made you my mother

[00:45.97] He knew who I'd need

[00:49.94] When he picked you from the others

[00:54.47] He could already see

[00:59.04] That you would be my hero

[01:03.56] And everything I wanna be

[01:08.33] When God made you my mother

[01:12.87] He was bein' good to me

[01:17.86] I come to you with all my secrets

[01:22.29] And you never, ever judge

[01:27.23] And when I'm fallin' in my weakness

[01:31.48] You give me strength to stand back up

[01:35.93] No amount of miles could separate us

[01:40.45] No place where I don't feel your love

[01:44.88] You say I'm the gift that Heaven gave ya

[01:49.42] But mama, I'm the lucky one

[01:53.32] 'Cause when God made you my mother

[01:58.37] He knew who I'd need

[02:02.63] When he picked you from the others

[02:07.16] He could already see

[02:11.60] That you would be my hero

[02:15.78] And everything I wanna be

[02:20.83] When God made you my mother

[02:25.07] He was bein' good to me

[02:36.77] If I'm ever a mother, I wanna be like you

[02:45.54] If he picks me from the others

[02:50.07] I'm gonna try to fill your shoes

[02:54.84] 'Cause mama, you're my hero

[02:58.82] And everything I wanna be

[03:03.86] When God made you my mother

[03:08.11] He was bein' good to me

[03:17.04] Yeah, he was bein' good to me
