**VERSE ONE**

the sky grew dark

the night grew cold

the rain poured down

they had nowhere to go

the roads where packed

there seemed no way out

the wind began to roar

as the sky began to spout

she took her children

in her arms

tried to cover them

from any harm

**BRIDGE TO CHORUS**

I won't forget

what I saw that day

two small children

shaking and afraid

but you know they were saved

by a mother's love...

**INSTRUMENTAL BREAK AND BUILD TO CHORUS**

**CHORUS**

A mother's love

you can't understand

give her life

just to defend

stand up to an army

on her own

to save her family

and her home

and when the battle

is over and won

she checks her children

and those she loves

tell them they

have nothing to fret

love them to her

very last breath

if I could take anything

with me from this world

it's a mother's love

**LONG INSTRUMENTAL SOLO**

**VERSE TWO**

the sound of thunder

and shattering glass

the car tumbled

and the tornado passed

emergency crew arrived

at the scene

they saw life in the

twisted steel and beams

two small children covered

by their mother's arms

she wasn't breathing

but they suffered no harm

**BRIDGE TO CHORUS**

I won't forget

what I saw that day

two small children

shaking and afraid

but you know they were saved

by a mother's love...

**INSTRUMENTAL BREAK AND BUILD TO CHORUS**

**CHORUS**

A mother's love

you can't understand

give her life

just to defend

stand up to an army

on her own

to save her family

and her home

and when the battle

is over and won

she checks her children

and those she loves

tell them they

have nothing to fret

love them to her

very last breath

if I could take anything

with me from this world

it's a mother's love

**FADE OUT WITH ETHEREAL VOCALS AND INSTRUMENTAL TO THE END**
