Oh there's nothing like the strength of a mother's love
I believe it's a gift that was sent from up above
It's difficult to put into words
I've never quite understood
The undying strength in the arms of a mother's love.

I remember that day when I heard your very first cry
and I remember the time when I first looked into your eyes
I was filled with a feeling so new
I really didn't know what to do
when I felt the strength in the arms of a mother's love.

Oh there's nothing like the strength of a mother's love
I believe it's a gift that was sent from up above
It's difficult to put into words
I've never quite understood
The undying strength in the arms of a mother's love.

When you were growing inside me I was filled with joy and fear
I remember at times I would stand looking into the mirror
I was hoping that I would see
the kind of mother that I wanted to be
And to feel the strength in the arms of a mother's love.

Cuz there's nothing like the strength of a mother's love
I believe it's a gift that was sent from up above
It's difficult to put into words
I've never quite understood
The undying strength in the arms of a mother's love.

Well, the years have gone by and it's true there's been lots of pain
but as I sit and reflect I can see there's no one to blame
I know I've made lots of mistake
but I know I've always had what it takes
to feel the undying strength in the arms of a mother's love.

Because there's nothing like the strength of a mother's love
I believe it's a gift that was sent from up above
It's difficult to put into words
Something I've never quite understood
The undying strength in the arms of a mother's love
Oh, there's nothing like the strength of a mother's love
I thank God for the strength of a mother's love.
