horns)
Yeah,
yeah
Oh,
the
road
is
long
but
the
heart
is
steady
Listen
to
the
rhythm
of
the
spirit
It’
s
a
story
told
in
every
beat
Early
in
the
morning
when
the
sun
begins
to
rise
I
see
the
reflection
of
a
blessing
in
your
eyes
Through
the
changing
seasons
and
the
shifting
of
the
tide
You
were
the
anchor
that
I
needed
by
my
side
I
remember
lessons
in
the
kitchen
long
ago
Seeds
of
gentle
kindness
that
you
taught
me
how
to
sow
Whatever
path
I
travel,
whatever
mountain
high
Your
love
is
the
constant
that
will
never
say
goodbye
Oh,
Mother’
s
love,
it
never
ends
It’
s
the
truest
story
that
the
heart
defends
Through
the
storm,
through
the
calm,
through
the
dark
of
night
You
are
the
fire,
you
are
the
guiding
light
Yeah,
your
love,
it
never
ends
On
the
wings
of
time,
the
message
transcends
Pure
and
steady,
like
the
river
to
the
sea
Your
love
is
the
anchor,
the
soul
of
me
Life
can
be
a
hurry,
life
can
be
a
heavy
load
But
I
find
my
peace
along
this
winding
open
road
I
count
the
small
mercies,
I
count
the
words
you
said
The
way
you
held
my
hand
and
the
way
you
broke
the
bread
No
distance
ever
measured
what
a
mother
gives
away
A
sacrifice
of
spirit
that
remains
here
every
day
It’
s
not
in
the
riches,
it’
s
not
in
silver
or
in
gold
It’
s
in
the
quiet
comfort
of
a
love
that’
s
never
cold
Oh,
Mother’
s
love,
it
never
ends
It’
s
the
truest
story
that
the
heart
defends
Through
the
storm,
through
the
calm,
through
the
dark
of
night
You
are
the
fire,
you
are
the
guiding
light
Yeah,
your
love,
it
never
ends
On
the
wings
of
time,
the
message
transcends
Pure
and
steady,
like
the
river
to
the
sea
Your
love
is
the
anchor,
the
soul
of
me
I
see
you
in
the
mirrors
of
my
own
reflecting
mind
Leaving
all
the
worries
and
the
bitterness
behind
It’
s
a
legacy
of
warmth,
a
heritage
of
grace
I
find
my
own
reflection
looking
back
upon
your
face
Yeah,
it’
s
a
beautiful
thing
Just
a
beautiful
thing (
Melodic,
warm,
soulful

Oh,
Mother’
s
love,
it
never
ends
It’
s
the
truest
story
that
the
heart
defends
Through
the
storm,
through
the
calm,
through
the
dark
of
night
You
are
the
fire,
you
are
the
guiding
light
Yeah,
your
love,
it
never
ends
On
the
wings
of
time,
the
message
transcends
Pure
and
steady,
like
the
river
to
the
sea
Your
love
is
the
anchor,
the
soul
of
me
It
never
ends,
no
it
never
ends
Carry
it
with
me
everywhere
I
go
Always
in
the
heart,
always
in
the
soul
Mother,
your
love (
