What would a mother not do for her child What lengths would a mother not go There's a bond that exists between mother and child With no end to how strong it can grow It's a promise for life between mother and child It begins from the moment of birth And you're shaken to your soul With an ache you've never know And you look into their eyes and find you're looking in your own And there's a pain you can't imagine A special kind of torture you can feel A cut that bleeds from somewhere deep inside you A past regret you can not heal And no one guesses all the while you're praying The screaming little stranger in your arms Might just grow up and save you after all What would a mother not do for her child What heights would a mother not climb There's a bond that exists between mother and child And it only goes deeper with time It's a promise for life between mother and child And to break it there's no greater pain And you're shaken to your soul With an ache you can't erase Like the tears you never cried but still keep scrubbing off your face 'Cause there's a pain you can't imagine A little talk that keeps you wide awake That somehow turns to bold determination That you'll never make the same mistake And so you vow to feed you're little future Assuring that her talent, poise, and charm Might just grow up and save you after all Might just grow up and save you after all Some dreams die upon the vine Some they never have a chance Sweeter that the sweetest wine That mine becomes The queen of france And there's relief you can't imagine That fills every sinew, bone and nerve To know that you can get out of this hellhole And finally live the life that you deserve And suddenly the past you knew would haunt you And all of the regret you didn't show Might just grow up and save you after all Might just grow up and save you Might just grow up and save you after all What would a mother not do for her child What lengths would a mother not go There's a bond that exists between mother and child Ah, but then again How would you know?
