Watch You Be A Mother - Jonny Diaz

You do it all

You always have

Ten years and two young kids

You wear so many hats

I see you patient

I see you kind

But I see you in a new light

How you love those kids of mine

And you ask me, do I love you like I did at 24

And I just laugh because I don’t know

I love you more

You’re a giver, you’re a lover, you’re a friend

You’re a fighter, fighting for this love to win

So many roles that you cover and you play 'em like no other

But I think that I love you the most

When I watch you be a mother

When I watch you be a mother

Your white shirts

Have all got stains

Whether hauling kids or healing wounds

You spin so many plates

How you do it, I just don’t know

But there’s a million ways your love and grace

Make our house feel like home

And you say that you don’t look quite like you did at 24

But if I’m honest, right now I’m attracted to you more

You’re a giver, you’re a lover, you’re a friend

You’re a fighter, fighting for this love to win

So many roles that you cover and you play 'em like no other

But I think that I love you the most

When I watch you be a mother

When I watch you be a mother

When I see the way you cover them

With prayer from your knees

I see the way you lift them up

Above your very needs

And I see the sacrifices

'Cause you love them like no other

I can’t take my eyes off of you

When I watch you be a mother

You’re a giver, you’re a lover, you’re a friend

You’re a fighter, fighting for this love to win

So many roles that you cover and you play 'em like no other

But I think that I love you the most

When I watch you be a mother

When I watch you be a mother
