A Mother’s Love

Slipping out the back door in the night eight kids in hand pregnant with the ninth Don’t really know what to do but gotta get away from this abuse
Got far to go, got little money, leaving at a time when times weren’t sunny
Finally gettin away covered by the father‘s grace

You got to live, you got to live this way You got to give, you got to give this way

How could she overcome her plight eighth-grade education never went to 9th Living at a time when the only rule was do what you do when you gotta do
All the older ones were assigned to a younger
Gettin on a train holding hands all together
If it ever meant giving up her kids she’d never have a man and she never did

You got to live you got to live this way
You got to give, you gotta give this way

Who was your peace when we couldn’t sleep and who was your peace when we couldn’t eat
Who was your peace when your son was even taken far away
How could you love in a bed of burden, sheltering us in a world of hurt
Speaking words of hope and courage caring every day

A little older now we could understand how difficult was our mothers plans
Working really hard just to pay the bills and praying to God when we got ill
We all got jobs bringing home money, working at a time when money wasn’t funny, doing more than paying the bills our house was a blossom on a battlefield

You got to live you gotta live this way
You got to give, you gotta give this way

You got to live you gotta live this way
You got to give, you gotta give this way
